Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- The organ purchased in 1866 was the 1823 Hall in a previous altered state, with the ca. 1857 addition of one octave of permanently-coupled pedals, and a swell box enclosure. Installed in the rear gallery of Trinity Church, the organ remained essentially unaltered until a partial renovation in the early 1960s by Geddes of Winsted, CT, at which time a blower was installed and the feeder system removed.

The organ was "restored" ca. 1974 by Charles Aiken, and in hindsight, many regrettable and irreversible changes were made to the original fabric including the removal of the original sprung sliders and machine stop mechanisms, and replacement of the mahogany table with plywood.

In 1990, the organ received a new blower, feeder reconstruction, and new rackboards, amongst other refurbishments, by Quimby Pipe Organ Co. of Warrensburg, MO, during their construction of a new organ for St. Michael's Litchfield, the original home of the Milton organ.
