2007-12-31 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was electrified by William W. Laws of Beverly, MA in 1930 with some minor tonal changes/additions. When the Lawrence congregation merged with the Andover, MA congregation at a new edifice in Andover, the organ was taken along and a "new" organ built by Roy E.W. Carlson & Co. of Magnolia, MA, retaining much of the existing pipework and the 1930 Laws "Austin-style" console. The building was later sold to the North Boston Korean United Methodist congregation. -Database Manager
