M.P. Möller, Inc.
Hagerstown, Md. – Opus 1097 (1910)
Tubular-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 12 stops, 11 ranks
The ledger book copy of The Memorandum of Agreement, dated February 21, 1910, states that M.P. Möller would build the following organ for the sum of $2,000. Möller was to have the organ "complete and ready for use on or before the 30th day of April 1910 or as soon thereafter as possible, if building is not ready." Apparently, there were delays in the building as the organ was not shipped until May 28, 1910. |
