Database Manager on September 24th, 2016:
I am Don Hermanson, Organist-Choirmaster at First Lutheran/Galveston (since Jan 1990). Pilcher Opus 1334 was originally installed in the former nave in 1926, in celebration of the church's 75th anniversary (founded 1850). Installed at the front of the church, it had two manuals, 14 ranks. Left and right facades consisted of the 8' Great Diapason. It was moved to the new church in 1959.
Database Manager on April 7th, 2005:
Identified through information in Vol VI p. 271 of the Pilcher factory ledgers and a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below.
