According to the Mariposa Gazette of 3/3/77, the organ was sold to the Independent Church (later First Unitarian) Oakland, CA
Paul R. Marchesano on August 23rd, 2022:
Built for Mechanics Fair, 1876. Offered for sale for $5,000. Unknown if it was sold or installed anywhere after the fair. The *Evening Post* article of 5 Aug 1876 describes the organ (see DOCUMENTS tab for complete text): "The organ...is made of the finest black walnut with ornamental Gothic features, the pointed arches being supported by beautifully carved pillars, which divide three sets of pipes. The case is 15 feet wide, 26 feet high and 12 feet deep, being the largest that has been manufactured in this city. There are 24 pipe and combination stops..."
