DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The organ was originally installed in 1937 in Kalamazoo College's Stetson Chapel by M. P. Möller as their Opus 6424. It was enlarged and rebuilt by William J. Mollema in 1965. This work included a new console. The organ was removed from Stetson Chapel in 1986, rebuilt, and installed by C. V. Barden Company in this location in 1989. It was purchased as a living tribute to Suzanne Diephuis DeHaan in honor of her 35 years as a musician at the church. When Third Reformed built a new worship center, this room became the church's chapel. A fire in the console ca. 2009 damaged the organ, and the console was listed for sale on eBay. Third Reformed is now known as Centerpoint Church.
