Title:
Old organ finds new home, new glory in Wisconsin church
Volunteers scurried around and below the 50-year-old Winter Street Center organ Monday, carefully disassembling the giant instrument that has for so long anchored this former church.
Its dense forest of gunmetal silver pipes towered behind spaced white ionic columns. An obstruction never looked so majestic.
With the promise of keeping the historic organ in one piece, Sagadahoc Preservation Inc. signed off on a donation of the instrument to a Wisconsin church. The Dura Supreme window company offered to truck the disassembled structure back to the Dairy State before a six-to-eight-week rebuilding process.
The organ is being donated to the Chetek, Wis., Lutheran Church in an effort to make room for what might ultimately be a performance stage in the historic center — an 1843-era Gothic-style church once used by Congregationalists.
