NOTES
The organ was free-standing and encased at the front. The facade was 7-sectional
with 46 pipes arranged: 9-3-11-drape-11-3-9. The space above the 11-sections and
the drape was 'tomato can' dummies.
The organ was rebuilt in the 1950's by Frazee which included new windchests. Pipes
from this organ were used by the Andover Organ Co. instrument installed in 1986.
