NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased at the front of the room. The 3-sectional
facade contains 21 stenciled pipes arranged: 5-11-5. Keydesk is attached and pro-
jecting with drawknobs in terraced jambs.

The organ was later moved to a private residence in Glover, Vermont by an unknown
person or firm. The pedal compass was increased to 30 notes - presumaby at this
time. It later suffered sever water damage from a flood and was removed in 2017
by A. David Moore and Lubbert Gnodde and broken-up for parts. Some stops were
used in the Lubbert Gnodde rebuild of opus 318 in Woodstock, Vermont.
