Echo Hill Presbyterian Church

715 38th St. SE
Marion, IA 52302

(Organ originally installed at Central Park Presbyterian Church in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. See separate entry under Cedar Rapids.)
Builder: Reuter Organ Co., Op. 1080, 1954. Moved by Levsen, 2017.
Manuals: 2
Ranks: 22
Action: Electro-pneumatic

Notes: The organ was dedicated on June 17, 2018 during the morning worship service at 10:00 am, followed by a concert at 12:30 p.m. played by Charles Potter, guest recitalist (and the organist from Central Park Presbyterian Church, where the organ was originally installed).

The 2-manual, 22-rank Reuter organ was recently installed after extensive refurbishing by Levsen Organ Company of Buffalo, Iowa. It had been removed from its previous location at Central Park Presbyterian Church (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) in 2009.

Central Park and Kenwood Park Presbyterian churches merged (to form Echo Hill Presbyterian Church) and the combined congregation moved to its new facilities at 9000 C Ave. in Marion in October, 2009 and this instrument was moved in 2017.

Editor's note: In a Facebook annotation, it was stated that the Avenue C location was abandoned and the congregation moved (in July, 2020) to the Calvin Sinclair Presbyterian Church building at 715 38th St. SE. in Cedar Rapids, which is the A-frame building shown below. Presumably the organ was left in the 9000 C Ave building, which is currently for sale.
