2022-11-15 - This organ originally belonged to Oliver Holden (1765-1844) a carpenter and composer of Charlestown, and was given to the Bostonia Society, along with a number of his tune-books, by his descendants. He is said to have composed most of his hymn-tunes, including the famous "Coronation", at this organ. It is presently nearly unplayable, but restoration is being contemplated for the future. -- from *1961 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
