Notes
This organ was essentially an electrification of the church's existing Wm. A. Johnson tracker organ, opus 389, of 1873.
 New 61-note chests were provided to replace the original 58-note slider chests, and a new console was also provided.
The Johnson case was retained. The organ was free-standing and encased in the rear gallery.
 
The Great had no tonal changes made to it - save for a new 8' Open Diapason on the Great.
The original Johnson 8' Open Diapason was retained and moved to the Pedal division.
 
On the Swell, a new 8' Salicional was installed in place of the 4' Harmonic Flute, and the original Johnson 8' Keraulophon
 became the 8' Voix Celeste. And despite a stop named 4' Harmonic Flute. . .the actual pipes retained and playing
were the original 4' Fugara pipes.
 
Around 1968, Ray Douglas of Groton, MA rebuilt the organ, disposing of the Johnson case.
The Estey console was replaced with a new Klann console.
 Some tonal changes were made through unification of existing ranks.

In 1989, the organ was sold and replaced with an Allen electronic organ.
