One of the most famous church structures in the US incorporates an equally famous pipe organ. I have several postcards showing the instrument at various stages in its history. Today Temple Mount has several buildings housing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Also there are several organs scattered among those buildings. This remains the most visually recognizable, though it is not the largest.
The card at top shows the tabernacle organ in its most famous configuration. The used, color card is dated 1959. The card just above is dated '06, and was mailed from SLC to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Both cards use common postage stamps for their respective eras.
Marked differences are apparent between the two cards. including the size of the organ. The tabernacle's choir site (the ensemble is world-renown in its own right) includes details about the organ, and its evolution.
