Updated through online information from scot huntington. -- The Odell organ was installed in Amenia Union in March, 1888, by Geo. Jardine & Son, having been taken in trade from an unknown location. <br>The organ was altered by Wm D. Osterhoudt of Poughkeepsie in Sept., 1928, not John Smith. Osterhoudt replaced the Dulciana with an Aeoline, and installed a balanced expression pedal. <br>Robert Smith of White Plains renovated the organ in Apr. 1951, installing slide tuners, rebuilding the pedalboard and adding a new Spencer Jr. blower, unfortunately removing the original feeder and pumping mechanism in the process. <br>In Apr. 1977, Gordon Auchincloss restored the original hitch-down mechanism, reconstructed the pedalboard, and installed a new Meidinger blower. <br>The organ was restored according to O.H.S., guidelines by S.L. Huntington & Co., Stonington, Ct. in 2001. Among routine restorative repairs,the 1928 Aeoline was replaced with a reconstruction of the original Dulciana, and the metal treble pipes were lengthened to restore the original pitch and cone-tuning. The feeder was discovered behind a pile of rubble in the cellar and returned to the instrument. <br>SLH & Co. added a new Ventus blower in Nov. 2004. <br>In 2012, the church floor was found to be danger of imminent collapse. During the extensive building renovation which followed, workmen discarded the original feeder.
