This is a stock model Moller 'Portable' with a detached console.

The church was built in the 1840s. In 2008 the small congregation decided to do restoration work on their deteriorating building, and began by removing all the wall paper and the unsound belfry. The stunning and long-forgotten trompe l'oeil was exposed in the process. Exhausted by their efforts, in 2012 the divided congregation voted to merge with the Lutheran congregation in nearby Seward and to sell the building for $30K, including the contents. The building was sold in 2015 and converted to a private residence, the new owners preserving all the building's historic features and the still-playable but failing Moller Artiste.

St John's held its last service in 2015 and the building was put up for sale. A real estate website includes photos of the interior showing the very standard Moller Artiste, with its detached console, at the front and left of the chancel. Those same photos suggest the building to be largely unchanged from the 19th century with a trompe l'oeil apse and polychrome wall panels remaining. As of 2023 the building appears to be maintained at a minimal level. Fate of the organ is unknown.

Originally installed in Union Theological Seminary, New York City. Moved at unknown time to St. John Lutheran Church, Sharon Springs, New York.
