DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
from Church History:
In the period 1947-51, extensive renovations to the Church were again conducted. At this time the interior of the Church was reconstructed to the 1832 period. The Cassavant [sic] pipe organ was installed in 1951... In 1987, during Pastor Thomas' tenure, the Century III Capital Campaign was undertaken. The Century III Campaign required contributions of $150,000 which were earmarked for several important projects in the Church: repair of the Church exterior walls and woodwork, repainting and repair of the sanctuary interior, refurbishing of the Church organ, and a sizeable donation to Phoebe Home.
