Notes

2013-04-14 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from the church website:<br>"Increasing costs of repairs led to a decision in 1903 to replace the existing organ [the 1872 Wm. B.D. Simmons instrument] with a 4-manual organ acquired from the Hutchings-Votey Organ Company of Boston at a cost of $23,000. With the consent of the church, the builder connected the two parts of the gallery organ, which closed completely the large Gothic window on Walnut Street. It remained closed for 94 years." -Database Manager
