DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Although the entry gives the date of this organ as 1899, the Detroit Free Press reported the presence of a new pipe organ in the church on February 13, 1898, when the building was dedicated as a Christian Science church.
Jim Stettner on August 29th, 2020:
Updated through online infomation from William M. Worden. -- The First Church was first located at 80 W. Alexandrine between Woodward and Cass in a wooden carpenter Gothic building to which the Scientists added a classical facade; the Clough & Warren would have been in that building and it did contain a typical case in a front corner with pipe fences on both exposed sides. But that could also be the Austin listed for the 1890s; there are two possible organs for this building, which is now the Midtown Mosaic Church.
