Database Manager on October 16th, 2012:

A relocated organ. Identified by Timothy E. Conyers, using information found in Hagerstown's Sesquicentennial Commemorative Book 1832-1982, printed by Exponent Publishers, Inc, 1982, page 39-40.

"...in 1926, the building underwent extensive remodeling and enlarging. An addition of 16 feet in width was built along the entire north side, the spire of the steeple removed and the steeple relocated at the northwest of the building. The main entrance was moved to the north and the entire structure stuccoed. Inside, the sanctuary was positioned along the south wall, as it remains today. A balcony was hung along the north wall of the new addition, almost doubling the seating capacity.
The old pump organ was replaced by a pipe organ that had been removed from the Washington Theater in Richmond. This was presented to the church by Henry Teetor."

Note: This instrument is no longer in the church, its whereabouts unknown. An electronic organ has been used for several decades. Also known as First Christian Church; for many years both names have been used by the congregation. The Teetor family were a big industrial family in the community. It was through their business efforts that the town grew to its present size.
