Notes
2009-06-08 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Installation of the used (3 y.o.) Estey from the Century Theatre in Methuen. Believed to still be present, but has not been in use for about 25 years now. -Database Manager
2022-04-18 - At some point the rear gallery had a glass partition added, likely to serve as a "cry room." Building renovations in 1980s pulled the altar out from the wall, making a "well" for the choir behind the altar under the stained glass half dome (which is quite striking) and a Rodgers organ was installed.
The rear gallery reveals an organ chamber with chests present and a clear imprint on the floor where the console was, center with organist facing the rear windows. -Andrew Scanlon
