Notes

Paul R. Marchesano on October 06, 2022:

Legend has it that the first organ for this church, also by George Stevens, was lost at sea during shipment. This eventuality apparently did not dampen the spirits of the people fo First Church, as they purchased a worthy replacement to complement their striking church edifice. -- information from stoplist notes
