Database Manager on August 02, 2009:

Identified through on-line information from Jonathan A. Poe. -- Rebuild of existing organ. Some additions were made and were in keeping with the instruments original tonal quality. The facade pipes are from the 1924 Pilcher & Sons organ originally housed in this building. First UMC Asheboro is currently undergoing major renovations to the sanctuary and surrounding buildings. Upon completion I will provide pictures as well as a website for more information and original documentation. This organ is a joy to play and for just 16 ranks of pipes it is exceptional in supporting choral and congregational singing.
