It was moved to two subsequent locations before finding its way to St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Lisbon Falls, Maine. While the organ was there in the 1970s, the Andover Organ Co. of Methuen, MA. rescaled, cut-down, de-bearded, and revoiced the original Swell 8' Aeoline as a 2' Flautino. In 1992, the church was razed to make room for a parking lot for an adjacent funeral home. Organ builder David E. Wallace and organist Nancy Wines Dewan rescued the organ. Nancy's sister, Judith Temple, was an organist in the Spokane, Washington area. The organ was acquired by her and relocated there by David Wallace. Mr. Wallace replaced the original pedalboard with a new, 32-note AGO pedalboard - also adding a 5-note chest, 5 pipes, and extending the coupler action 5 notes. He also releathered the stoppers on his way home from the 1995 A.I.O. convention in San Jose, California.
