Updated through online information from James R. Stettner: The 'History' page of the church website states, "Worship at Circular is enhanced by an exceptional tracker organ built for a church in Boston in 1890 by George S. Hutchings. The organ was moved here and restored in our loft in 1987 by Circular's then organist and choir director, Vernon S. Elliott. Restoration of the sanctuary was achieved in 1987, also largely by members of the congregation."
