I moved every one of these organs (95 of them) when I was about 15 or 16 years old. The old guy had them in a barn outside of town where he spent a lifetime restoring them and couldn’t play a note.

A new, digital organ is more important than the organ’s historical value to the church? Perhaps THEY are the problem.

It was built for the Parkersburg United Methodist Church in 1904 The United Methodist Church didn't exist in 1904--it was formed in 1968. If Parkersburg is the one in W. Va., the church in question was probably known at the time as the First Methodist Episcopal Church.

The church is conducting a remodeling of its worship area, which includes making the space accessible to the disabled, Rogers said. So, this incredible organ has to give way for a disabled elevator? Maybe they should stick the elevator somewhere else.
