In 1877 the Congregation purchased a new pipe organ, an instrument of three hundred pipes constructed
by C. Anderson in Denver. Now the oldest operational organ in Colorado, this little instrument is the joy of Georgetown
in occasional recital and weekly worship. In 1998 the Organ Historical Society formally accepted the nomination of the
organ to the Society's list of historic organs of America.
In 1882 the great stone wall fronting the street and enclosing the steps to the church was constructed.
In the same year Mrs. Anson P. Stephens of nearby Lawson painted and presented to Grace Church the three-panel reredos above
the altar. The child Jesus holds the center position above a crown which caps the altar cross. St. Paul stands
to the left, and St. John the Evangelist stands to the right.
With few alterations the church is little changed from these years of Georgetown's high prosperity
in the 1870's and 1880's. Gas lights were installed in 1889 to be replaced with electric lights in 1913, and a boiler
replaced the coal stoves after WWII. The altar is now illuminated from above, with the light enclosed in a Bishop's
miter crafted by the late Stig Gusterman.
The Snetzer building adjacent to the church just down the hill was purchased by the congregation
five years ago. Interior rehabilitation gave us Grace Hall on the ground floor with apartments at the rear and above.
Exterior rehabilitation was recently completed as well.
