Notes

2007-09-07 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2011-06-23 - Updated through online information from Ronald Crowl. -- The organ was replaced by a unit Wicks in the 1950s. The original casework was removed and a typical screen installed - no visible pipes remaining. The congregation has since left the building, and the First Baptist congregation currently occupies what was originally the First Methodist Church, which has a tubular-pneumatic Kimball (currently unplayable) behind a splendid case. -Database Manager

2013-10-09 - Updated through online information from Lynn Thompson. -- Building razed in 1990. No information available about any organ that was in the building at the time of its destruction. -Database Manager
