This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by James R. Stettner, listing this web site as a source of information: https://zionjohnstown.org/history.html.
According to the 'History' page of the parish website, " On July 27 [1930], the congregation approved the installation of a Kilgen pipe organ next to the chancel at a cost of $18,000. This necessitated some alterations and redecoration in the nave at an additional cost of $5,000."
Database Manager on April 9th, 2020:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Also according to the 'History' page of the parish website, " In July, 1971 plans for the renovation of the church, the old parish hall and the Parish House, at an approximate cost of $220,000, were accepted. < snip > Since the cost of the repairs to the four manual Kilgen organ, installed in 1931, were prohibitive, upon recommendation of the Organ Committee, a Saville electronic organ was installed in the balcony." The actual subsequent disposition of the organ is not presently known.
