Paul R. Marchesano on July 12, 2021:

Several mentions of musical programs and organ recitals given in the local newspapers, but no description of the organ. Built by Charles E. Haskell, and appeared in a November, 1919 listing published in The Diapason by the firm, although one newspaper report says the "new pipe organ" was dedicated November 14, 1920.

The church no longer exists, although the building apparently does. Previously it was know as the Union African Church and the building today has a sign identifying the congregation as Grace and Truth Church - Lancaster.
