At an unknown time, George Jardine & Son built an organ for the 37th Street Methodist Episcopal Church. The following specifications are from Louis F. Mohr, Sr., who annotated every organ that his firm serviced. Mohr indicated that the case was 13 feet wide, 12 feet high, and nearly 7 feet deep with pedals. There were 17 front pipes covering a space of 7 feet 7 inches, and on either side were two painted flats measuring 2 feet 10 inches. This organ was moved (possibly when the church disbanded in 1911) to Salem Methodist Episcopal Church, then located at 102 West 133rd Street.
