2008-10-29 - Identified through information received via e-mail from Scot Huntington: -- Originally by Alvinza Andrews, it " was 'improved' by Beach as his first project as an independent organ builder in 1848 (this was Beach's home church), and taken by him in trade when he installed his first two-manual instrument there in 1857. Heavily altered and rebuilt again by Beach, the organ was installed in St. Mary's Catholic Church in Gloversville at an unknown later date. The organ was acquired by a private party in the late 1970s. -Database Manager
