| Organ history by Dr. David K. Lamb:
The organ was originally built by the Hook and Hastings Organ Company of Boston in 1883 and was installed in the Second Presbyterian Church on Main Street in New Albany. In 1890, the Congregation of Second Presbyterian Church built the “new” building in 1890 on the corner of Elm and 13th streets. They moved the Hook and Hastings Organ to their new location. In the early 1940s, the Second Presbyterian Church and the Third Presbyterian Church merged to form Hutchinson Memorial Presbyterian Church. In 1942, the organ was totally rebuilt and enlarged by the Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company of Boston. In the early 1970s, there was another merger of the Hutchinson Memorial Presbyterian Church with the First Presbyterian Church to form the present St. John United Presbyterian Church. The First Presbyterian Church building was sold and demolished, only after the historic Odell Organ was removed and donated to the Okalona Baptist Church, across the river. The fagotto and the krumhorn stop were added by Miller Pipe Organ Company of Louisville in 1979, and in 1984 the Miller Company was contracted to rebuild the console with solid-state switching. The chimes were added in 1987 and the deteriorating facade pipes were replaced in 1996, which was 103 years after there original construction for the Second Presbyterian Church in 1883. The most recent project involved replacing the Krumhorn stop with the original clarinet from 1942. Writing on one of the large Bourdon Pipes |
