Building

Our building was resurrected in 1873 and built by architect Charles Coats. During a 1929 renovation, tall spines were removed and the present brick façade was installed. Our church building is now distinguished by its twin towers, arched windows and Romanesque Revival-Style. In addition to our building, Salem is also very blessed to have seventeen stained glass windows lining both sides of our sanctuary. With our wooden pews, beautiful alter and center aisle, Salem has been blessed to have been the host of numerous weddings over the years, of our own members and visitors of Salem. Salem is currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Another piece of Salem’s prized heritage is our pipe organ. This magnificent instrument is an Austin Opus 1160 with 42 rank pipes. It was built in 1923 and underwent a rebuild in 1962 by Austin and again by Berkshire in 1977. We cherish our organ and because of that take excellent care of it. Many of the students at the Eastman School of Music have taken advantage of the fact that we have this brilliant organ and have blessed us with their talents over the years. Our current organist is Gabriel Fanneli and we would love to have you join us during a Sunday service to hear him share his God-given gift and enjoy, with us, our Salem home.
