Emmanuel Baptist Church contracted in 1870 with the Johnson & Son organ company of Westfield, Massachusetts to build an organ for the newly built church. Emmanuel had moved away from its Pearl Street facility in Albany, NY and began ministry in 1871 on State Street. The organ is as old as Emmanuel. Organs built by Johnson & Son possessed excellent balance, splendid dignity and beautiful voicing, representing a monument of artistry and craftsmanship.
