2007-10-20 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager
2008-06-11 - Updated through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> New console by Aeolian-Skinner as their Opus 1255 in 1953.</i> -Database Manager
2011-05-26 - Updated through online information from John Gouwens. -- This organ existed in the previous building of First Presbyterian Church. When the present building went up, the 1956 (early Whiteford) Aeolian-Skinner was installed, the Chimes were retained from the old Estey. The rest is presumed destroyed, as was the old building. This was an Estey "cash register" console, and in its later years, the stop buttons would occasionally break loose and shoot behind the player's back. -Database Manager
