St. Mary's Outreach Center, Hampden

St. Mary Outreach Center 3900 Roland Ave Baltimore MD 21211
Built as St. Mary’s Episcopal Church , in the old mill town of Hampden, The large 1903 Adam Stein sits silent, but totally intact. Due to dwindling congregation and a proliferation of Episcopal Churches in the area, the Episcopal diocese converted the building into a  community outreach center, with the main part of the church converted into theater space. The Stein organ was the final hurrah of an ambitious rector who greatly enlarged the building in 1901.  The organ supplanted a reed organ. Dedication of the organ December 1901. The Great sits just above the impost and behind the small chancel facade. The Choir division stands behind the and slightly above the Great, with the Swell above the Choir.  A Nave facing facade does not function.
In the early 1990s’ David Storey restored the keyboards and keydesk. The Great 16 Double open Diapason has several monkey-quint bass pipes as there is no height for full length pipes. The voicing of these pipes is so good that it is nearly impossible to detect the change from open pipes to quinted pipes.

St. Peter the Apostle Church

 St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church  13 S. Poppleton St. Baltimore MD 21201

This historic Catholic church , dating from the 1840's can be read about at.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter_the_Apostle_Church
It houses a large two manual Henry Niemann Organ of 24 ranks.  Niemann, who’s  early training was in Germany and France , immigrated to Baltimore in the 1870s. His instruments are known for their clear & brilliant tone and quality construction. While the building of St. Peters is said not to be in peril of demolition, it has been closed and is up for sale. As the Niemann organ needs a through restoration, the Archdiocese feels it would be best to have it removed.

Alert
The 1891 Johnson & Son pipe organ at Carter Memorial Church of God in Christ, located at 745 W. Lafayette Ave., is said to be sold to the University of Maryland. There is little doubt that the 1830s building will be demolished. The Johnson organ sits in an alcove behind the pulpit and contains sixteen speaking stops. Though not playing, the instrument is intact and has not suffered from any major tinkering.
The building was built as Fayette Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in the 1830s and received a new facade and renovation in the 1870s.  The Johnson organ replaces a smaller Johnson organ of 1876.
