Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- According to the booklet "Four Organs of Historical Interest in Danville and Chatham, Virginia," originally built for Mt. Vernon Methodist Church in Danville, Virginia. Donated here in 1942 when replaced at Methodist church by a new Austin. Installed by Fanjoy. At some point in time, the original Swell 4' Violina was moved-up to become an 8' Vox Celeste. And only the 2' register of the II Cornet was playing.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:

Moved from Mount Vernon Methodist, Danville. 2-16 or 2-17 in the 1940's by Fanjoy. Swell located to the far left of the attached keydesk. George L. Payne repaired the organ in 1967, and refurbished it in 1995. Roof damaged by wind in 1995, and much of organ destroyed. 11 ranks removed to George Payne shop for protection and repairs. Pipework used in 17rk, all-electric Payne instrument, 1997. [OH 2001:32 indicates that the H. & H. organ was still in use in 2001?]
