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 (there’s an extra $50 in the subtotals, but that’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.
Jim Stettner on December 27th, 2025:
This entry represents the installation of a new organ.
The organ was later electrified with a new-style console inserted where the original keydesk would have been.
