Notes

2024-07-14 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. -Jim Stettner

2024-07-14 - Updated through online information from Christa Rakich (July 10, 2024): I visited the church on 10.July.2024 and the organ is by J.W. Steere & Son of Springfield MA. Church folks told me it was from 1912, but I have no verification of this. I did take pictures of the nameplate, console, and organ (what could be seen of it). -Jim Stettner

2024-07-17 - In 2011, A. Thompson Allen Company rebuilt and installed an Austin console. No tonal changes appear to have been part of this contract. -Paul R. Marchesano
