M. P. Möller
Opus 5509, 1929

Organ is currently under restoration. Used weekly.

Updated by Sean Haley, who maintains the organ. The organ has been the unfortunate victim of immense water damage due to a leaking roof and vandalism in the Swell chamber. Many pipes in the Swell, including the unique French Horn, are missing many pipes with several crushed and many damaged beyond economical repair. Fortunately the Great, Choir, and Pedal, being more difficult to access, are in more usable condition. Sadly the church sees little value in the instrument, having no organist, and has no intention for restoration or regular maintenance. The organ was prepared for an Echo division to be installed in a tower chamber at the back of the sanctuary.

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The building was originally built as First Baptist, and that congregation ceased functions around 1997. The building was purchased by a Russian/Slavic Baptist congregation and became Pilgrim Slavic MB Baptist Church. The organ is still used, though it is in need of complete restoration. At present (2007) the Swell will not play. The Great and Choir share a common chamber in the front, right corner of the sanctuary. The Swell is in the front, left corner of the sanctuary. Both chambers have two grille openings on perpendicular walls: facing across the front of the church and into the santuary. The console is placed on the elevated choir dais on the left-hand side (beneath the Swell) with the organist facing the congregation.
