M. P. Möller
Opus 6050, 1931

Returned to the factory and rebuilt as Möller Op. R-365 in 1949 following a fire.

Updated through online information from Randall Dyer.
The Moller Delray Beach house organ (#6050) was not destroyed in a fire, at First United Methodist Church, Panama City, Florida. It was sold by the church in 1976, to Fred Shofner, of Knoxville, Tennessee, for installation in his home, whereupon it was replaced at the church by Casavant #3304. That organ burned in June of 1978, and was replaced by Casavant #3444 in 1979.

In 2003, after having stored the Moller organ for nearly 30 years, Dr. Shofner donated it to Church Street United Methodist Church, in Knoxville, where several ranks were used in a redesign and enlargement of that church's organ by Randall Dyer & Assoc., Inc. (See Database no. 19049, for details of disbursement of pipes from MPM #6050).

Originally installed in the M. P. Moller residence in Delray Beach, Florida, in 1931; upon the death of Mr. Moller in 1937, the organ was moved to First Methodist Church, Panama City, Florida, where it served until it was destroyed by fire in 1978.
