Updated through on-line information from REV DENNIS A STECKLEY. -- The building belonged earlier to a Dutch Reformed congregation, but the organ was purchased and installed after the Christian Church congregation had bought the building. Church records indicate that this was one of the organs Carnegie made a financial contribution toward.
