St Mary Church, Muscatine, Iowa 1876-2014
On June 21, 2014, St. Mary Catholic Church in Muscatine, Iowa will close for good. The church opened in 1876, and this is the church my family has attended since Deb and I moved to Muscatine in 1987. In 2000, St. Mary and St. Mathias parishes merged to form a single parish. Last year, St. Mary Church, in need of $3 million in repairs, was deemed unsafe to use. The parish council decided to close the building. I am part of a team preparing a church history book to be distributed at the June 21 closing service. That service will be held on the church lawn, and the building will be demolished shortly thereafter. Using some of the photos from the history book, I created this slideshow. The music is a recording I made many years ago of Larry Schaapveld (1948-2010), our longtime St. Mary organist, playing the Pfeffer organ installed at the church in 1887.

    There is a wonderful market out for converted homes, that is former churches turned into luxurious mansions. See Wall Street journal. I would like one some day after my career (pharmacy industry, hospital pharmacy) is established.

    I have to share a comment, though it is with somewhat mixed feelings... It is sad that such a distinctive, and historic church has unfortunately had to come to being demolished, since one can only imagine all of the history there. At the same time though, I was very excited to learn last weekend that my childhood parish, St. Patricks of Lincoln, NE is going to be the new home for the pipe organ after our new church is built. I'm truly excited to hear it someday, and as a musician, Engineer, and an antique enthusiast, I'm really glad that this wonderful instrument will be preserved and able to be enjoyed for years and generations to come. I can't thank you enough for posting this video with the recording of the organ being played!

    Nice moving :-) I thought this is only possible in movies :-) Was this house built as a mobile home, or was the frame under the home mounted later on? Is it built of wood, or is it just the decoration?

    my father owns one of those, 107,000 miles. it doesn't look pretty as this one, but he works as a mechanic and some customers came in with the car,because the thing blew a timing belt, so they came to have it fixed, but they did not want to pay 300, 500 for the replacement, so my dad bought it off of them. we've only had a few problems with the car, but i still like it.

    Could you tell us who wrote this arrangement? Have never heard any other arr than that by Jack Schrader, but this sounds very nice, altho I don't think the recording does the choir justice (esp can't hear the guys at all). Thanks for posting this- I enjoyed it! (And I've been singing and directing the Schrader ever since it came out!)
