Provo First Ward: Organ Detail
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!
