NOTES
This organ was originally built for this location. 

In 1911, Garden Street Methodist and First Methodist merged to form Central
Methodist at a new location – the NE corner of Haverhill & Lawrence streets.
The organ was relocated without tonal or mechanical changes by an undocumented
person or firm. The Great 2' Super Octave is incorrectly engraved as being at
8' pitch.
