This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Don Hurd, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Very interesting blower mechanism in the unfinished basement--long leather belt! Pipe organ replaced in the 60's by electronics. Very old casework remains in the balcony. The church had two tall steeples which both burned around 2004. (Fire department had done an inspection earlier in the day and left a light burning which ignited some old rags in the stairwell.) Merged with St. Monica to become St. Monica-St. George Church. May soon be renovated as another denomination. I spoke with the contractor who took the pipes to the dump, but salvaged some cute little wooden ones and dismantled the big pedal wood for the lumber, which he offered to give me!
