DETAILS
This instrument is: Not ExtantandNot Playable in this location
Congregation no longer at this location; built a new building in 2024 at 599 Amanda Circle. The pipe organ was not relocated to the new site. On display in the new church foyer and built into the wall as part of the historical display, is an old antique two manual console from a much older instrument. It was probably from the original building that predated the one on Broadway Street, but may have also been used prior to the installation of the Wicks.
