Organ removed from Carnegie Hall, Lewisburg, WV by Chris Nagorka and Joseph Marchio of Kanawha Organ Works in the summer of 1996. It was stored at the Walker Machinery warehouse for a year, and installed at Christ Church by K.O.W. in July 1997. At that time the original feeder bellows were stored at the church and a new blower installed. No other changes were made to the instrument.
