Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- When the organ was installed, the church was known as Highland Park Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It was renamed St. Andrew's United Methodist in the 1960s. The church closed in the 1990s; the building is now operated by the UMC as the St. Andrew's Center.
