- Möller built a three manual organ in 1959 for Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In 1972 the instrument was expanded with an Antiphonal Organ and a new Trompette. The church was closed in 2010 and has been sold and converted into a mosque.
- The organ was transferred to the chapel of Mount Academy in Esopus in 2012. This school is located in a large former convent building. The chapel housed an early 1900s Tellers-Kent Organ Company organ, which had been refurbished in 1926 by Kilgen. It is not clear whether the facade of this organ is still on the gallery, or whether it has been replaced by Möller's front.
