The first 100 or so pages of the Viner ledger notebook contain the stoplist and scales of every organ Viner worked on while in the employ of Johnson & Son, 1890-1896. The last Johnson opus 847 on page 137 with the notation J.+S. at the top. The next stoplist on page 138 is Sacket's Harbor, with the notation V+S. and #146. This suggests this is the first organ constructed by Viner & Son after the father and son opened their manufactory in Buffalo. A newspaper article announcing the forming of the firm states they bought the remains of the failed Garret House company which itself was a reorganization of the firm after the orginal firm had failed and reorganized as Derrick & Felgemaker, which later moved to Erie, PA. The V+S firm organized in ca. 1898-99. The first Viner organs were a virtual continuation of the exceptionally high quality work of the Johnson & Son firm at its end. He quickly began exploring more modern action designs including tubular and electric actions, and eventually moved away from the classical Johnson style of voicing toward the symphonic style of voicing then becoming prevalent.

Sacket's Harbor is a shore-front town on the extreme northeastern edge of Lake Ontario. The original church burned on April 2, 1899 and immediately was rebuilt within the extant brick shell. The new church was dedicated on August 2, 1900. The original elegant stencilled facade is extant, and externally the organ is indistinguishable from a later Johnson instrument. The church website states "the organ was restored in 1983".

The church was built in 1899, replacing a former building on the same site which had burned to the ground earlier in the year. The Viner was restored without significant alteration in 1983. The original facade stencilling is intact.
