  • In a chapel of Marvin United Methodist Church stands a historic pipe organ, originally built in 1894 by Cole & Woodberry as their opus 100 for the chapel of Saint Margaret’s Convent, Louisburg Square, Boston. The organ was restored by Bozeman-Gibson in 1979. When the convent moved to another location, the organ was sold via the Organ Clearing House to the congregation in Tyler. It was rebuilt here by Watersmith Pipe Organs.
  • A special stop is the 'Principal & 15th & 19th' on Great. This has can be drawn in three steps, everytime adding a rank. The Octaves 8' of the pedal is an octave coupler, that only works when also the Bourdon is drawn.
