Jim Stettner on October 21st, 2023:

As of October 2023, the organ is available for sale. The situation at the church is described as, "The congregation has "gone off the rails" into praise band, projections, garish colored lights, etc. Fired the organist and now want to sell the organ."

Restored by Blackinton, 1985.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:

This entry represents the moving and reinstallation of the congregation's existing organ from the previous (1st) edifice to their new (2nd) edifice.

According the the San Diego History Center, "When the congregation moved from the old church building at Eighth Street and A Avenue, to the new building at Sixteenth and I, DeWitt Mytinger, son-in-law of an old time member, Mrs. Sara Spofford, assisted by Luther Harris, dismantled the organ and reassembled it in the new structure."
