NOTES
The organ was free-standing and encased in the rear gallery with an attached, projecting
keydesk. Stops were as drawknobs in terraced jambs on either side of the keydesk. The pipe
fence façade has 31 pipes that give the appearance of being 5-sectional by virtue of their
arrangement as: 5 - 8 - 5 – 8 – 5.

The organ was later removed and rebuilt in 1972 by the Andover Organ Co. of Methuen, Mass.
with tonal changes for Pilgrim Congregational Church in Lexington, Mass.
