NOTES
The organ was free-standing and encased at the front of the room. In 1932, A.P Whiton
of Methuen enlarged the organ by adding three ranks to the Swell, chimes, and one rank
to the Pedal. The congregation later merged with Riverside Congregational of Lawrence
at Riverside' building, and the former United Congregational Church was purchased by
the Iglesia Evangelica Hispaña. The organ was sold to Brunner & Heller of Marietta, PA.
for rebuilding, tonal alterations, and installation at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic
Church of Annville, PA.  Stops marked with an asterisk (*) were added in 1921.
