Church no longer exists, demolished around 1971. The following note from Robert Reich of Andover Organ company: "Church Organized 1824; bldg. c1836, remodelled c1877 and again early in the new century; church disbanded 1934, bldg. sold 1945 to Bethel Armenian Cong; latter church combined in 1965 with Mt. Ararat Armenian Cong. in Salem, N.H. and the bldg. was sold and converted to apartments. 1st organ: Appleton, 1860. 2nd organ: Cole, 2m about 12r: sold and removed 1971, electrified and partially installed in a residence in Acton, Mass." [c. 1900] It is not clear if the Cole organ used any of the Appleton pipework.
