Notes: Arlington Street
Church, the first public building in the Back Bay, was begun in
1859 and dedicated in 1861. For
it, architect Arthur Gilman took his inspiration from St. Martin-in-the-Fields,
London. The freestone building
is supported by 999 wooden piles and surmounted by a steeple
containing 16 bells, rung by hand. The original Presbyterian congregation
was
gathered
in 1729 for Scottish Calvinists, who met in a converted barn.
Two church buildings preceded the present one, which has a collection
of Tiffany stained
glass windows believed to be the largest in any church.
Op. 1307
replaced Hutchings Op. 382 installed in 1895. Skinner added an
85-note Tuba in 1908 as Op. 154. Some of the existing pipe work
was
retained for Op. 1307, as was the Hutchings facade.
