The Möller Factory Specification (Aug. 18, 1924) shows that the organ built for "Little Mt. Zion Baptist Church" was played from a three-manual stop-key console. All of the divisions were enclosed in chambers and the pipes were voiced on 6" pressure. Möller indicated that the organ would be completed by Jan. 21, 1925. It is assumed that this organ was moved to the second church building in 1929.
