      NOTES
The 4 manual console was originally built in 1913 by Kimball,
Smallman and Frazee as their Opus 16 for the Harvard Club in
Boston, MA. From 1959 to 1995, the console controlled a 41 rank
organ at First Lutheran Church in Lynn, MA; and was replaced in
1995. Williams Organ Company of Swampscott, MA rebuilt the con-
sole in 1973 and myself and Michael Soucy rebuilt it again in
2020, adding a control system by Artisan Instruments, Inc.
