The church was constructed in 1885, and the organ dates to 1894 (according to opus number courtesy Aaron M. Tellers). This substantial-looking instrument can be seen here -

In 1969, Trinity Methodist Episcopal merged with First Methodist, creating Christ United Methodist Church (still in the 1885 building). In 1986, the Trinity building was sold, and Christ/First Methodist installed a Klais tracker organ from Germany. What happened to the Felgemaker isn't known.
