I visited the temple on August 3, 2022 and all six, identical Felgemakers are still there in the various lodge rooms in various states of repair. Quite a fascinating experience to roam the building!

This is one of six matching organs installed in 1909. All organs still in place and playable. Ken Whiting has repaired 3 of the organs and [we] plan to continue repairing and tuning the remaining organs.
