Database Manager on February 21st, 2015:

Updated by Don Hurd, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- Church closed in 2007. Organ is all original--new plastic key coverings. A string celeste looks to be an addition--it is water damaged and disconnected. Nice Vox humana and French Horn. Big Open Diapason. The building was to be converted into a reception hall, but nothing was ever done. An excellent, small organ! I played it for several years as their organist.

Database Manager on March 24th, 2013:

Updated through online information from Don Hurd. -- The church closed ca. 2004 and was to be converted into condominiums. The organ may be for sale or donation. A wonderful organ.

Database Manager on March 23rd, 2006:

Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn:
