Updated through online information from Jim Tartella (April 13, 2025): I visited this church on 4/12/2025 for the 5th Anniversary dedication/organ concert. (Building was rededicated on 9/15/2019 as "Chapel of Christ the King" of King's College, Wilkes-Barre.) Pipe organ is no longer there although it is believed that some of the pipes may still be in the chambers and ceiling. Building has been completely renovated by the college and converted into a Catholic worship space. The old console was removed and has been replaced with a 3 manual Viscount. Speaker units are in the two pipe chambers on either side of the altar.
From the Pennsylvania Historic Preservation website, "The size of the congregation declined in the late 20th century and eventually decreased to twenty-five members. The Memorial Church was formally dissolved by action of the Presbytery of Lackawanna on May 19, 2009. In 2011 the Presbytery of Lackawanna sold the property to King’s College for $125,000. Now operated as the new campus chapel and community event space, the church now serves as the worship space and gathering space for the King’s College and other members of the local community."
Identified through information in List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Moller, 1928).
