Jim Stettner on February 14, 2023:

Updated through online information from James Seylor, "The building was sold a couple of years ago. It is no longer a church nor accessible to the public. As far as I have heard, the instrument is still there. It was part of the sale but no one seems to know the owners’ plans for it."

Database Manager on April 01, 2019:

At some point was renamed St. Andrew-St. David United Church; the dwindling congregation moved to a much smaller facility in 2018 and the building and organ were offered for sale.
