Database Manager on February 2nd, 2011:

Updated through online information from Jonathan Myers. -- In trying to determine the existence of this organ, I spoke with the pastor, a long time member, and the current organist. The organ was moved to the new building on Bowman Ave in 1922. The church is now called the Bowman Avenue United Methodist Church. The organ was replaced with an electronic substitute in 2001. From what I understand, the original facade pipe remain intact. The status of the rest of the pipework is unknown and presumed destroyed. Speaker cabinets now sit on the old chests. I will continue to gather information.
