At a time when many churches are discarding their historic pipe organs, the congregation of Prince Of Peace Lutheran Church has moved forth with an exciting program to restore and install the 28 rank Wicks pipe organ originally designed by the late Emile Robichaux for Redeemer Lutheran Church, a stalwart of the City's Ninth Ward for decades. The organ is said to be the first instrument with an exposed Great division to be installed in the area. For the last four years, a dedicated volunteer crew, operating on advice of Richard Schneider of Schneider Pipe Organs, has been rebuilding sections of the organ which were damaged by termites and neglect as the Redeemer congregation dwindled and the church closed. The console shown above is the present operating console which is also a Wicks, and which formerly served at Grace Lutheran Church when it was located in the building on Iberville Street which is now Christian's Restaurant.
