Notes:

According to church records the
former pipe organ was given to
St. Luke's Methodist Church, Lynn, MA in 1911.

Boston St. Methodist closed in June 1982
and was torn down ca 1985.

According to church officials from 
St. Paul's Episcopal Ch., Peabody, MA
at least some of the pipes from the H & L
organ were given to them for possible
enlargement of their Hutchings -Williams organ,
but this never was done. The pipes -in storage-
were eventually given to another party.
