This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. 
 Identified by James R. Stettner,  using information found in   2015 Andover Organ Co. newsletter.

This was a tonal renovation. On the Great, the Melodia was replaced with a metal Stopped Diapason and a III Mixture was added. On the Swell, the 8' Viola was replaced with a 2' Fifteenth and a 1-1/3' Nineteenth was prepared-for. The 8' Oboe was also extended to full-compass from tenor C.
