Notes

2007-09-23 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2014-12-03 - Updated through online information from John Friesen. -- The congregation sold the building to the Masons in 1929. Subsequently, the Masons sold the building, and Bedient Pipe Organ Company now has the organ in storage. -Database Manager

2023-02-04 - Only the pipes are in storage. They are in excellent condition and we hope to incorporate them in a new instrument someday. We discovered water damage from an old roof leak and dry rot throughout the windchests and reservoir. They were discarded along with the keydesk. -Ryan Luckey

2023-02-05 - The organ is not playable. We only have the pipes in storage, nothing else remains. -Ryan Luckey
