First Presbyterian Church (now United Presbyterian)

209 East Main Street
Washington, IA 52353
(There is a second church called Washington Reformed Presbyterian, which was formed after a spllit of the original Presbyterian Church in Washington, Iowa in 1859.)
Builder: Estey Organ Co., Op. 1142, 1913.
Manuals: 2
Ranks: Unknown
Action: Unknown

Notes: The congregation’s first church building was erected and occupied in the summer of 1844 (though the present Washington Reformed Presbyterian Church building was built in 1901). In 1859, 75% of the congregation joined the United Presbyterian Church, while 30% of the congregation reorganized as a continuing Seceder congregation to maintain its Biblical, and historically Presbyterian and Calvinistic commitment. This minority group united with the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America in 1969.

Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979.
