According to church history page, the organ was replaced in 1957: "During the years 1956 and 1957, the sum of $20,000 dollars was raised to furnish the new Church with a new organ. This new instrument replaced the organ that had served the congregation for 80 years." Builder unidentified. The church had an electronic substitute with speakers on the emptied organ chests for years. Unknown if this replacement was the first electronic substitute.
