The church was converted into a private residence.


Jim Stettner on April 1st, 2025:

From the former esteyorgans.com website: "This little organ was removed from the church on Feb. 17-19, 2005, and now rests in storage in Brattleboro, VT. The pipework is in original condition, as is the rest of the instrument. Certainly, it will probably need re-leathering. The console has the Estey wooden stop relays, which appear to be in good condition. The stop tabs are of some sort of plastic material which has deteriorated badly. They are very brittle and curled upward (strange). The organ has 2 sets of swell shades and 2 swell motors, plus blower, tremolo and rectifier. The bottom octaves of both the Diapason and Viola ranks have Haskell pipes. My preference is that this organ go to a small church or chapel to enhance their services. The original chamber dimensions were: 8' W x 8'2" D x 11' H. A new chamber could be somewhat shallower, as there was liberal spacing between the chest and the swell shades."
