  • The previous Presbyterian Church of Addison, New York, burned to the ground on February 7, 1881. A new church was constructed hereafter, that could be opened in January 1882. A pipe organ was built by William King with a prospect that has been designed by L.B. Valk, the architect of the church. This instrument was inaugurated on February 17, 1882.
  • The action of the organ was electrified in 1961 by Carl K. Rademaker. He installed a new console, but nothing was altered concerning the specification or the voicing of the instrument.
