DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes. Identified by Dr. James F. Simpson
Considering that the historic organ was built in 1935 and is in its fourth home, it is in remarkably good shape. The oak cabinet was refinished at some point and the original pipework, open reeds, wind chest, and blower have remained unaltered.
Database Manager on July 4th, 2018:
Originally built in 1935 for Mr. Thales Butler, Jefferson City, Tennessee. Later given to Baptist Church in Jefferson City. Purchased by Mrs. Henry Blanc and installed in her residence in Jefferson City, Tennessee. Purchased from Mrs. Blanc's estate by Richwood Presbyterian, relocated by David Bottom.
