Updated via email from Andrew Henderson (February 11, 2026): I just did some more digging and found an article about the opening of a new building from October 22, 1931. It mentions a Tellers-Kent organ, with E-P action, which had 2 manuals and 1,569 pipes. . [Ed. - The Tellers opus list gives a contract date of September 5, 1930 and a cost of $5,200.00.]

A June 2020 note in Wikimedia states, "The parish endured until 2009, when it was dissolved by the Diocese as part of its "Journey in Faith and Grace" consolidation; since then, it's been the subject of two different plans for redevelopment: it was purchased from the Diocese in 2014 by local investor Stephen DeFalco who envisioned it as home of an event space he dubbed "The Church", but was resold two years later to Hook & Ladder Development, a group that's earned renown for its work on and around Seneca Street and which plans to convert the building to apartments and commercial space, possibly including a craft brewery."
