NOTES
The organ was originally built for the Masonic Temple of Augusta, Maine.
It was moved to two subsequent locations (a store and a residence) before
finding its way to St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Lisbon Falls, Maine.
While the organ was here, in 1976, the Andover Organ Co. of Methuen, MA.
rescaled, cut-down, de-bearded, and revoiced the original Swell 8' Aeoline
as a 2' Flautino.
In 1992, the church was razed to make room for a parking lot for an
adjacent funeral home. Organ builder David E. Wallace and organist Nancy
Wines Dewan rescued the organ. Nancy's sister, Judith Temple, was an
organist in the Spokane, Washington area. The organ was acquired by her
and relocated there by David Wallace.
