As mentioned in an earlier post, the organ was not originally part of the building. Apparently, there was a chapel with a similar floor plan in Arizona that had this organ, so when that building was demolished, the ward leaders arranged to purchase it and move it here--seeing as it fits perfectly in the arch at the front of the chapel. It's a lovely addition.
The organ was installed from a chapel being demolished in Eagar, AZ in 1985.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Steven! I'm going to see if I can find a picture of that chapel and include it in the post. Thanks!
DeleteI am here checking out the Provo 1st ward meetinghouse now and that organ seems to have been replaced with yet another one that looks slightly different, a bit less detailed
