St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Cnr Victoria & Pittwater Rds
A pipe organ "dominated the centre of the sanctuary" and seemed to
have been acquired about 1908. In 1958 the organ was "moved to
the corner and pipes removed. In 1966 a Hammond RT3 Concert Model
Electric organ was obtained at a cost of $4256".
[Presbyterian Church of St. Andrew, Gladesville NSW 1888-1988]
In The Challenge of the Years ed. Rev. C.A. White of 1951  (Presbyterian Church of NSW) it claims that St. Andrew’s Gladesville at one stage had “plans for a redesigned pipe organ” but the date is uncertain. Click on photo for a full picture taken in the 1920s during an evening service.
Further research has revealed the instrument was most likely a harmonium with a large, fake pipe facade.
