Westminster Presbyterian Church (formerly Second Presbyterian)

1285 Third Avenue S.E.
Cedar Rapids, IA 52404

(See separate entry for Second Presbyterian Church in Cedar Rapids.)
Builder: Schantz Organ Co. Opus 1248, 1974
Manuals: 3
Ranks:
Stops: 45
Action: Electro-pneumatic

Notes: Prior to this Schantz organ's installation in 1974, the church had a Hook and Hastings Pipe organ,  from the original building, built in the late-1880's. The original church congregation (including building) was called Second Presbyterian Church. A new building in 1914 replaced original. Hook & Hastings was (presumably) moved to this 1914 structure.

The Schantz organ case is in a modest, yet modern design, with exposed facade pipes. The organ is located in the chancel in the front of the cruciform shaped Gothic-inspired sanctuary dating to 1914. The organ has some grillework but the grilles do not conceal the whole instrument.

The last picture on the right shows a tracker organ about which we have information. We assume that is in a chapel.
