Updated by Steve Bartley, who gave this as the source of the information: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TFGTM/; google search; Sun Paper 1/13/1925 pg24.
Union Sq Methodist, a solid neoclassical temple, was built in the 1850s to serve the burgeoning middle class neighborhood of Union Square, who's location is not far from the B&O Rail Road yards on Pratt St. A 1 manual organ appears on the Roosevelt list for this church, with a mention in the in the Sun Paper (9/20/1887 pg4) saying "a large organ" with water motor, placed behind the pulpit. The Union Square Methodist congregation survived until the late 1990s/early 2000s.
The Facebook page of the present occupants shows a rather restrained renovated interior with the Hall organ front/center behind the pulpit. Its large dark woodwork, supporting three wide flats of facade pipes, divided by two smaller 1/2 round columns of pipes.
Identified through information in Classified List of Hall Organs, published in 1929 by Hall Organ Co., West Haven, Connecticut.
