Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Originally built for the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. It was replaed there by the Hook fir, who took the organ in-trade, and then installed it in the United Baptist Church in Biddeford, Maine. Acquired by the Shortridges in 1979 via the Organ Clearing House. Relocated, temporarily, to St. Bartholomew's Episcopal, Yarmouth, Maine by David Wallace ca. 1996. Then to Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass. [never installed]; next to Oberlin Conservatory in Oberlin, Ohio [stored; never installed]; and finally to Rutgers University where it has been fully restored by Columbia Organ Works, but remains stored by the builder pending installation in a University historic chapel.
