Identified through online information from Andrew Henderson (August 28, 2025): As reported in the Welland Tribune (June 1, 1883). The instrument appears to have been replaced 10 years later.


Andrew Henderson on June 25th, 2023:

The first pipe organ in the Methodist Church in Welland was the work of an unknown builder, installed after the church building was completed in 1882 and before an 1894 dated photograph of the church interior which shows the organ, as found in the 1962 church history. According to the Welland Tribune (May 21, 1907) reporting on the rebuilding of the instrument by the Warren Church Organ Co., the Warren firm "built in the keyboard and pipes of the old organ, but on the whole the organ is new ... new features are the pedal and swell organ which are operated by the pedals and top key-board respectively ... the old organ had only 324 [pipes]."
