Paul R. Marchesano on April 30th, 2021:
Organ was reloacted by M.P. Moller in 1924 to Holy Family Catholic Church in Detroit Michigan. According to the church website: "The Pipe Organ of Holy Family Parish is about 130 years old. It is a 12 rank Farrand & Votey which we purchased in 1924 from out East. It only cost about $2,250 in those days!" This, taken together with the firm's active dates, likely dates the organ approximately 10 years older than the estimated dates on its database entries. A restoration project has begun at the church in Detroit and hopefully a more accurate date can be obtained.
