The Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Epiphany was organized around 1900 to serve German Lutherans living in the East Harlem area of Manhattan. The society's first church was built in 1900 on East 128th Street near Fourth (now Park) Avenue. In 1927, the congregation merged with the Church of the Ascenion, located 3119 Webster Avenue in The Bronx, after which services were held for some time in a hall at 3092 Hull Avenue. On June 17, 1928, the cornerstone was laid for the present Gothic-style building of stone. |

A. Gottfried & Co.
Erie, Penn. (1929)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 11 registers, 10 stops, 10 ranks
The organ in the Church of the Epiphany was built by A. Gottfried & Co. of Erie, Penn. A plaque on the console states the organ was dedicated in 1929, but an opus number has not been found. All of the pipes are enclosed in one chamber on the right side of the chancel, although there are identical façades of non-speaking pipes on either side. The setterboards for the combinations are in two drawers beneath the Great manual. At some point, electronic carillonic bells were added, playable from a 25-note keyboard attached to the console. This organ was playable in 2010 and has received a partial cleaning and limited repairs by John Klauder Pipe Organ Service of Brooklyn. |
