Skinner Organ Co.
Opus 698, 1928

From the church website (The Church's Pipe Organ). "In 1928, this instrument [ed.: the 1854 Erben] was replaced by an Ernest M. Skinner pipe organ built in Dorchester, Massachusetts, for the church and containing 26 ranks [ed. 12 ranks] to drive 1,445 pipes [ed.: 835 pipes]. It cost $10,270 and was installed by Mr. Skinner himself with an electro-pneumatic key action; no more rods! St. Paul's School Organist Francis Snow presented the inaugural concert on October 14, 1928, introduced by church Moderator Harl Pease of Plymouth—New Hampshire's only Medal of Honor recipient ever—to a packed house. A second recital had to be held for those who couldn't get into the sanctuary.

Following a devastating fire in the early morning hours of September 6, 1983, the Skinner was all but demolished. What hadn't burned was crushed by falling timbers. And what wasn't burned or crushed had been soaked by fire hoses. It was sold to an organ buff in California for a little less than half of its original cost and trucked out west by the late Bob Crowley of Plymouth."
