M.P. Möller, Inc.
Hagerstown, Md. – Opus 685 (1906)
Tubular-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 29 registers, 18 stops, 18 ranks


The handwritten contract between M.P. Möller and the "FIrst M. E. Church of Williamsburg, Borough of Brooklyn," dated May 29, 1906, shows that this two-manual organ would be ready for use on or about October 1, 1906, and would cost $3,000. Möller agreed to purchase the old organ for a consideration of $500 should the church, after making a reasonable effort, be unable to dispose of it by one month prior to the installation of the new organ.
