Scot Huntington on April 17, 2022:

This organ is known from the William King work list compiled by King researcher Dr. Donald R.M. Patterson, and published in The Tracker XVI:4:1972.

The organ was rebuilt by Thomas Knollin of Syracuse in 1900. The building became a social center after the merger of the Presbyterian and Congregational churches in 1912, and was torn down ca. 1928-29. The ultimate fate of the King-Knollin organ is unknown.
