DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The news piece discussing the home/crawlspace where the organ's wood remnants were found also showed what looked like a church building across the street from the home. Turns out this church is at 204 S Division Str, supposedly built ca. 1870, and an interior photo shows the exact chancel where the organ was originally installed.
Supposedly the nearby home was constructed ca. 1940, and perhaps it or the occupant was associated with the church when the organ was dismantled [and perhaps Barckhoff pipes were parted out or even reused in the new Wicks?]...
