The company Koehnken & Co. built a new organ for Saint Henry's Roman Catholic Church, 1057 Flint Street in Cincinnati, in 1872. The church was German speaking and originally had the name Sankt Heinrich. The organ was restored by William R. Memmott after the closing of the church building (which was later demolished) and transferred in 1977 to the new chapel of the Covenant Theological Seminary in Creve Coeur, a suburb of Saint Louis, Missouri.
