Notes
2022-09-22 - This entry represents the relocating and installation of a used organ from one New Bedford church to another. Identified through online information from Bruce Gardzina. The organ was originally built for First Christian/North Christian and installed in the gear gallery. It was relocated to the front of the church and rebuilt by Samuel Pierce at an unknown date. The church suffered a fire in 1914 and was finally razed in 1923. The organ found a new home at Middle Christian. -Jim Stettner
