Jim Stettner on April 12th, 2022:
The congregation sold their historic old church in 2009. An online article on Historic Elmira, Inc. dated September 12, 2009 states, "The new owner, whose name is not being disclosed until the sale is final, plans to use the building as a community center."
Scot Huntington on April 11th, 2022:
This organ is known from the William King work list compiled by King researcher Dr. Donald R.M. Patterson, and published in The Tracker XVI:4:1971.
Patterson states the former 1870 organ may have been incorporated into this instrument. It was either incorporated into, or replaced by M.P. Moller in 1931.
