Fire in former Möller factory in Hagerstown, Maryland

A fire broke out on January 6 in the former M.P. Möller pipe organ factory, 403 N. Prospect Street, Hagerstown, Maryland.



Eastern Organ Pipes Inc. rents a portion of the old factory; the rest of the building is empty. The fire was first reported at 3:23 pm and took three hours to get under control; 50 firefighters worked the scene.



Frederick Morrison, co-owner of Eastern Organ Pipes, said the fire started in a spray-painting booth on the ground level.



Möller built organs at the factory until 1989, when it was sold to a limited partnership; the firm filed for bankruptcy in August 1992.
