My un-used card of the sanctuary at Trinity Methodist in Denver, CO is unused. It was produced by Mile High Photo Company, Denver. No date is given. Based solely on conjecture andd perceived condition of the card I would guess it's from the middle of the last century. Text on the card says the sanctuary can seat 1300 people and that the Roosevelt organ from the late 1800's has 4290 pipes, making it one of the nation's "most outstanding."
The church's website doesn't seem to mention the organ, but images on the site seem to indicate the current instrument is the one shown in the image. The Roosevelt organ seems to be the 3rd that has served the church, preceded by an instrument of 1886 by Charles Anderson and an Odell instrument completed before 1910. The Roosevelt instrument is Opus 380 from 1888. It's not clear to me where the organ was before coming to Trinity-Denver. It has been worked on many times over the years, most recently in 2012 by Morel and Associates.
