J.H. & C.S.
Odell & Co.
New York City (1895)
Mechanical action
2 manuals, 10 stops, 8 ranks
The first pipe organ in the church was originally built in 1895 by J.H. & C.S. Odell of New York City for the Presbyterian Church, 111th Avenue between Jamaica and Atlantic Avenues, in Woodhaven, Queens. This organ had a case that was approximately 16 feet high, 6 feet deep, and 10 feet wide.
In 1975, when the Presbyterian Church was slated to be razed, the Odell organ was moved to the Protestant Chapel (built 1966) at John F. Kennedy International Airport where it was installed by Allen Dreyfuss. The organ remained at JFK until that chapel was razed in 1989. Mr. Dreyfuss removed and carefully packed the organ for storage, where it remained for three years. In 1992, the organ was reinstalled by Mr. Dreyfuss in St. David's Church.
