The organ is presently in storage awaiting a new church building for the congregation. The organ was installed in the old Central Methodist Church a beautiful large Victorian building with a very tall spire. When I-94 was built through downtown St Paul, Central Methodist was torn down and a new modern church was built across from Regions Hospital. Now the state government is exercising eminent domain over the property and the new, 1960s building is to be torn down. The congregation is on the move again. They’ve packed up the 1940s Moller for it’s trip to its new home.

Editor's note: Since 2009, this church has moved to a new facility under a new name (shown) and there is no sign of the organ. Piano, guitars and microphones are evident.
