DETAILS
This instrument is: ExtantandPlayable in this location
The Roosevelt organ gave way to a new Moller organ in 1925. However, a great deal of the original Roosevelt was retained, despite what Moller claimed. Actual data exists to back this info up.
Jeff Scofield on January 7th, 2025:
The building was sold to the Evangelical Christian Baptist Church, a mostly Ukrainian-Russian congregation.
Jim Stettner on April 17th, 2024:
Updated through online information from Scott Siciliano: The church's congregation is in process of closing and the building was recently purchased by another congregation. I do not know if the current Moller organ will remain with the building or not, though I am inquiring into this with our conference.
Database Manager on June 13th, 2013:
