One manual, four stop residence organ built by Henry Erben in New York for
"a gentleman in the north", but was removed because it was to large for his home.
The gentleman has not yet been identified, and the exact production date of this organ
is not yet known, although it is believed to be between 1830 and 1835.

Sister Frederica Hueffel, the pflegerin (spiritual leader) of the Single Sisters' in Salem, North
Carolina, made a request to purchase a pipe organ for the chapel in the Single Sisters' House, because "the present instrument, a grand piano, does not stay in tune and also seems to be weak for the size of the room." -Records of the Moravians in North Carolina, Vol 9, 1839

The organ, located in the Saal of the Single Sisters' House, is dedicated "with a happy Singstunde and a prayer for its use in the holy place." -Records of the Moravians in North Carolina, Vol 9, 1839

Organ removed from Single Sisters' House and given to the Wachovia Historical Society. The organ was then exhibited in the Boys' School.

The organ was moved from the Boys' School to the Boys' School Annex by Norman Ryan, an organbuilder in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The Boys' School Annex was to be demolished, so the organ was moved again by Norman Ryan to the MESDA building in Old Salem for storage.

The Wachovia Historical Society agreed to give the organ to Salem Academy and College if the organ is restored and used in the Single Sisters' House.
