Tom Grierson, house organist of Rochester's RKO Palace, also served as organist at the Brick Presbyterian Church and First Universalist Church during the 1920s. In 1922, he ordered an eight-rank Wurlitzer - their Opus 524 - to be installed in the ceiling of the sanctuary, playable from the four-manual Odell organ console. M.P. Möller, Opus 7037 (IV/76) was installed in 1942, again incorporating much of the Hook & Hastings and Odell pipework, and preserving the 1922 Wurlitzer ranks as a "Celestial†division also playable from the Möller console. Today, the Wurlitzer pipework remains extant, but silent, in the ceiling of the church.<br>
