Andrew Henderson on December 22nd, 2025:

From the Evansville Journal (April 20, 1924): "The old organ, which the new one supplants, was one of the best of something like six of the tractor [sic] type instruments installed in Evansville churches 40 years ago, and is the first to give place to the newer type with electric action and modern improvements. It has been rebuilt by the Austin company in the Jefferson Avenue Cumberland Presbyterian Church."


Paul R. Marchesano on December 21st, 2025:

The Jefferson Avenue Cumberland Presbyterian Church was built in 1911. In 1924 a new organ was installed in the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church, and their old organ was sold to the Jefferson Avenue Church where the case was still being used as of 1946 (probably the case pictured above).

The Jefferson Avenue Church later had a small Wicks organ of around ten ranks, totally enclosed in chambers, with the facade pictured having been removed. This probably took place after the remodeling of the building in 1951. The church was closed in 2003 at which time the Wicks organ was offered for sale. The building has been used since by an inner-city ministry.
