Richards, Fowkes & Co., Ooltewah, Tennessee, has begun a shop expansion. They have operated from their present location for over 25 years. The building expansion will more than triple the current workshop space, adding a larger milling area, an expanded pipe shop, additional voicing rooms and offices, and enlarged bench space for current and additional employees.
Richards, Fowkes & Co., builders of mechanical/tracker action organs, has a current backlog of contracts for new organs that will carry the firm well into 2019. They have also expanded their restoration and service work for existing organs, both locally and around the country.
The company is currently building their largest organ thus far, a 59-stop, three-manual instrument for Village Presbyterian Church, Prairie Village, Kansas. Future contracts also include an organ for Calvary Church in Stonington, Connecticut, and a 59-stop organ for Christ Church Cathedral (Episcopal) in Cincinnati, Ohio.
