2004-10-30 - Burned. [Was this ever Fourth Presbyterian, which is in this database with E. W. Lane?] -Database Manager
2022-11-22 - Not to be confused with the Dorchester First Church. Founded in 1860 at Dorchester and Silver Street, as an alternative to enlarging Centenary. In 1886, it merged with Broadway to form St. John’s (South Boston). -- Boston University Library & Archives, website, accessed 2022-11-21 -Paul R. Marchesano
2022-11-22 - **Database Manager on February 28, 2005:** Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in The Hook Opus List 1829-1935, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991). [ed: note merged from duplicate record] -Paul R. Marchesano
2022-11-22 - This organ was visited by the 1961 OHS Convention, but at **Fourth Presbyterian Church**, 340 Dorchester Street. There appears to be some confusion in the historical record as to which church it was installed originally. Since Dorchester Street Methodist merged with another congregation in 1886, it is possible that the organ was moved around that time to Fourth Presbyterian Church, leaving the question what exactly was the c. 1900 Emory Lane organ? Did he move this to Fourth and expand it to 2 manuals? Duplicate entries existed for this organ for Dorchester. This record should be updated with an approximate installation date to Fourth Presbyterian, leaving intact the original listing at Dorchester. I have added the stoplist here from the *1961 OHS Handbook*. Further research is necessary to sort out the mystery. -- ed. -Paul R. Marchesano
