Builder: Casavant Freres, Opus 2790, 1964 Manuals: 3 Ranks: 49 Stops: 38 Action: Mechanical (key/stop/combination) Notes: Information and photos from a former (unknown) organist (1966-1968). "A magnificent example of Lawrence Phelp’s work." The church was built in 1929 to house the union of five different area Lutheran Churches. The building is a fine example of Art Deco architecture. It has been rumored for years, in the congregation, that the contractor built a building that could be converted into a city auditorium if the Lutheran Union congregation didn’t last. This explains why a theater organ was originally installed in the proscenium arch over the altar. Wurlitzer moved this organ from its original location at the Hollywood Theatre in Chicago Illinois. The Union Lutheran congregation(s) excelled, however, and at one time, United Lutheran was the largest American (ALC) Lutheran Church congregation in the US. Information from the Organ Historical Society and Richard C Greene. Last update: 7/2012. We have no further information about this organ or its condition. If you have information, we’d appreciate hearing from you.
