2013-09-05 - Updated through online information from Tim Meier. -- Dates to indicate when this organ was built are numerous: 1848, 1852, 1853, 1856. It is stated in an article published in the December 20, 1898, edition of the Bangor Daily Whig and Courier that "the present organ at the Central Church...was first used in public January third, 1853, and since then has seen continuous service....Stevens and Company, a Boston firm, built the instrument at a cost of about $1800, and at the time it was erected it was considered one of the finest in the state, having thirty-six stops and two banks of keys." **Ed. Note:** An April 1, 1851 builder's ad in *The [Windsor] Vermont Chronicle* lists this organ, which means in pre-dates 1851. It also states that this was the largest organ in the city at the time it was installed. -Database Manager
