Emporia, KS: First ME Church


This card shows the "4800 pipe organ" in First Methodist Episcopal Church in Emporia, Kansas. Also in view are the first few pews in the nave and the chancel platform. There is no further information on the instrument. The website for the current First United Methodist Church in Emporia doesn't give any information about the music program nor organ. Their Facebook page shows a modern looking facility, so I doubt anything in the postcard remains, unless the old building (and organ) were sold to another church to occupy and use. The stenciling on the facade pipes is quite lovely. In the new building, the chancel image shows grillwork on the right side, which suggests there may be a pipe organ there, but again, no information at this time.
