Address
Muscatine, IA 52761

(See separate entry for Pfeffer organ at Saint Mary's Church.  Saint Mathias's and St. Mary's are now merged into one parish.)
Builder: Stannke Organ Co., Albert, 1950's rebuild of earlier instrument circa 1910.
Manuals: 2
Ranks: 15
Compass: 61/30
Action: Electro-pneumatic/electro-mechanical

Notes: This is a rebuild of an existing organ identified by Shawn P. Keith, based on personal knowledge of the organ. Organ is assembled from badly butchered case,  facade, and wind chests of unknown builder but likely original to the building. Original slider wind chest toeboards were converted to electric action. Console is second-hand to the installation and largely inoperable. Behind twin side chamber cases derived from original center casework.
