(from entry for the organ that replaxed this) Updated through online information from Steve Bartley. -- In the early 1960s the rear of the organ chamber was sliced off as part of a building project. A school building for the congregation was added to the building complex. The original Niemann organ provided a very small space for a few singers and the Greek congregation desired a larger space for a full choir. These two conditions, smaller chamber and larger choir space necessitated a smaller organ. Lewis & Hitchcock was hired to provide a smaller organ for the available space.
11 ranks of the Niemann organ were used plus a new reed. The unified Great 8' Open Diapason was provided 12 bass pipes from the old 16' Double Open Diapason to provide a 16' open in the Pedal, and the Stopped Diapason was provided 12 bass pipes from the original Swell 16' Bourdon to allow it to also play at the 16 pitch.
Originally built for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Basilica in Baltimore. Relocated to the [then] new Associate Reformed Church by the original builder with a new facade. Electrified and rebuilt Lewis & Hitchcock in 1963, as 2-11 (?).
