2022-03-16 - The organ is free-standing in a white-painted pine case of late Greek Revival design on a platform at the rear of the auditorium. The church was erected in 1835 and there are small galleries at each side of the organ. Given by Freeman Cobb, the instrument was played by his wife, and his descendants have played it for more than a century. The three flats contain the basses of the Open Diapason and the woodwork was originally fake-grained[sic] to imitate walnut. The early type of projecting console, without doors, is of walnut, and the pedal keys are of the "toothpick" type. The Swell is above the Great and has horizontal shutters. The bellows handle projected into the right gallery. The Choir Bass is an unenclosed stopped wood rank, but unfortunately there is no flute in the Swell. The Great St. Diapason Treble is a chimney flute and the Flute is also chimney, with 13 open metal trebles. The Hautboy has 7 flue trebles. A partial renovation was accomplished by the Andover Organ Company early this year, and in the future the original stop knobs, removed about sixty years ago, will be replaced. Horatio Alger was once the minister of this church. -- *1966 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
