This entry represents the installation of a used organ. From the John & Linda Shortridge residence in Phippsburg, Maine ca. 1996. [temporary installation] Originally built for the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. Relocated by E. & G.G. Hook to the United Baptist Church in Biddeford, Maine in 1865. To the Shortridge residence in 1979. It has a Dulciana and a treble Cornet on the Swell not found on the Met's Appleton, but the Trumpet on the Great is a short-compass stop.
