Notes

2007-10-22 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2018-06-08 - The organ was rebuilt with new chests, console and relay in the 1970's. In 2001, it was removed from the church and replaced with an electronic instrument. The organ was subsequently re-installed in a dentist's home in South Carolina, and combined with an Austin of similar vintage. -Database Manager

2022-03-17 - In 2015, the instrument was removed from the Dentist's Home (Downsizing), and temporarily placed in storage at a location for possible re-installation. When that project failed to materialize, it was put in storage in Harrisonburg, VA, and, except for the console, was subsequently parted out. -Otto Pebworth
