Database Manager on August 31st, 2013:
Updated through online information from Fr. George Hafemann. -- This organ was purchased in late 2010 by St. Joseph's Church in Croton Falls, NY, for the parish's new church. It was removed in February 2011 by a crew from Foley-Baker, Inc. of Tolland, CT. The organ was cleaned and releathered, and several stops prepared for in the original installation have been added. There have been several delays in the construction of the church, but as of this writing, installation is to begin in October 2013, with the church to open shortly thereafter.

Database Manager on March 27th, 2011:
Updated through online information from Kip Said. -- The church building itself is at the center of a dispute involving the building's landmark designation against the wishes of the members of the congregation. The membership desires to demolish the building. This was approved by the District of Columbia in May, 2009. The organ is for sale at The Organ Clearing House as of March, 2011

Database Manager on February 8th, 2011:
Identified through information posted to PIPORG-L April 13, 2010 by Carl Schwartz: -- Listed on Organ Clearing House web site. "The site is slated for redevelopment. The organ is excellent and well maintained. I've played a service there some years ago and enjoyed it. Those who know the organ regard it highly. It is a shallow shelf installation on rims, three chest tops. The console is traditional electromechanical of course but sound."
