One line notice in newspaper: "A $8,000 organ has been contracted for by the Bryn Mawr Presbyterian church."
The Reporter, Thu, Jan 27, 1887 ·Page 3
Database Manager on September 19th, 2016:
Updated through online information from Steve Bartley.
This organ was moved to Friedens Reformed Church, Baltimore (Paterson Park Av & Gough St.) in 1939 by the Bartholomay Organ Company. According to the Bryn Mawr history, the brownstone building the organ was installed in, a previous "sanctuary," was converted to other church uses in 1940.
In spring of 2016, the Baltimore Church was bought by a developer who converted the building into apartments. The organ chamber became a bathroom for one of the apartments, keeping its facade and woodwork. The organ itself had its action electrified, probably by Bartholomay, but was in a restorable condition, its pipes in very good condition. Sadly the organ was parceled out.
