Jim Stettner on December 28th, 2025:

Updated through online information from Nathan Bienz [December 27, 2025]: The organ was a tubular-pneumatic one and was built by the Hutchings-Votey Organ Company of Boston, Mass., in 1907. The total cost was $3,650, of which $2,450 was paid by the congregation and $1,250 was paid by Andrew Carnegie (thereโ€™s an extra $50 in the subtotals, but thatโ€™s what the source says).

The organ was rebuilt and electrified by Lima Pipe Organ Company in the summer of 1982. The rebuild included a new attached two-manual keydesk, a new AGO-compliant pedalboard, and the re-gilding of the facade pipes. The newly rebuilt organ was dedicated on November 14, 1982, with a concert by Dr. Frederick Jackisch, dean of the School of Music at Wittenberg University.

This entry represents the electrification of an original organ, but neither original builder nor re-builder are yet known. Identified through online information from Nathan Bienz [December 15, 2025].

The organ was originally powered by a Ross Water Motor.
