Notes

2014-08-25 - Organ relocated without any change. Identified by Sarah Johnson, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This organ was originally built for Trinity Methodist Church in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1885. Either the organ was moved or the church changed hands but in 1997 at the time of its sale it was located at the Pentecostal church in Lynn. It was sold through Organ Clearing House to the Episcopal church of St. John the Divine in Southwest Harbor, ME. David Wallace restored the organ which mainly involved reversing previous unsatisfactory modifications to the wind system and swell shutters. -Database Manager
