Notes
2022-06-30 - Relocated here [1930s?] from Trinity Episcopal Church, Newport, Rhode Island, when they purchased 1929 E.M. Skinner Opus 800. -Paul R. Marchesano
2022-07-01 - learned June 2022 From someone very familiar with the church:
The organ was dismantled and removed in 2016. Pipes were sold off to individuals as a fundraiser. A slightly used 4-man Rodgers was installed at that time.
