This entry represents the installation of a new organ - the congregation's first. Identified from the church website, which states, "The first organ was built in 1863 by the firm of George Jardine & Son, which operated in New York City between 1832 and 1900. Built at a cost of $1,800.00, the small organ caused a schism among church members who divided between those who wanted an organ and those who didn’t. The latter group promptly left and formed St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Sewickley."
"The first organ was sold in 1894 to the now-defunct St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh, who eventually sold it to St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Moon Township."
