ORGAN INFORMATION
 
 
ORGAN SPECIFICATIONS
 
Note: the previous organ, shown in the historic photo display above, was determined to be Estey Opus 1043, dated 1913. According to Estey company records, the organ was previously installed in the Estey Showroom in Philadelphia, and that it was later sold to Washington St. UMC. The disposition of that instrument, and it's specifications, are currently being researched.
