This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Bill Clark, based on information copied from OHS archives. -- This organ was sold by the theater owner J. J. Hardy to the First Reformed Church, Lancaster, PA. in 1933 to replace their 1905 J. W. Steere and Sons organ. The Möller organ was installed at the church by W. S. Merrit under the supervision of Harry Sykes. This organ was scrapped and replaced in 1957 by an electronic organ.
