"The 125-year-old chapel, reported by The Panel in September 1963 to have been “constructed before the advent of mass-produced nails,” was thus disassembled into nearly 10,000 moving pieces and transported to Belmont. With the help of a group of Belmont Hill boys, Mr. Webb and his crew spent the summer and fall of 1963 reconstructing the building, which was completed early in the winter of 1963...Mr. Richard Bennett, the music teacher at the time, gifted the school an 1863 Odell Tracker Organ that he found in the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Harwichport." -- "Roger Webb visits Chapel", The Panel online, April 28, 2017.

OCH. From Harwichport, MA, Pilgrim Congregational. May actually have been built by Levi Stuart as sub-contractor.
