Updated through online information from Scot Huntington.
Never considered a musical success and chronically unreliable, the organ was finally replaced in 1992 by a new 3-manual organ by the Morel Organ Co. of Arlington, Massachusetts. Except for the handsome case which was relocated intact, the remainder of the organ was dispersed for parts.
