About the Dalton Memorial Organ
The church’s current organ is the third organ built for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and was completed in 2018. This organ was built by Jerroll Adams of Milan, Michigan, where he expanded and used the best of the pipework from the second organ completed in 1940. The instrument contains eight divisions, 71 registers, 88 ranks, and over 5,000 pipes. The pipes are housed in three functional cases plus an echo division in the rear gallery. The organ has a four-manual console and a small two-manual mini console in the gallery.
The organ was named after Florence Whiting Dalton, born to James H. Whiting and Alice M. Northup. Alice died on December 30, 1940, and her family generously donated funds to the church for the second organ. Today’s organ pays tribute to her family’s generous gift by continuing to be called the Dalton Memorial Organ.
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church is located at 711 S. Saginaw Street, Flint, MI. Tickets are $12 at the door; $5 for students; MCC and UofM students are free with a school ID.
