Built by: Schneider Pipe Organs (1981) - opus 9
The organ contains older material: from 1911 by A.B. Felgemaker Organ Company
The Felgemacher Organ Company built an organ with opus number 1081 for the Church of Saint Mary in Bremond, Texas in 1911. The instrument moved to Bryan in the 1960s, where it was housed in Saint Joseph Church. The quality of the organ was not very good and due to improper maintenance it quickly started functioning badly, until it could no longer be played. In 1981 the company Schneider rebuilt it, using some old stops again. The newly placed Prinzipal 4' of the Positiv comes from the organ builder's stock.
