The organ built in 1869 now resides at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church in Broomfield, CO. I have a history and picture of the organ if you would like.

Database Manager on November 5th, 2019:
Updated through information from James R. Stettner. -- The following is from notes given to me by Robert J. Reich when I was an employee of the Andover Organ Co. in the 1990's. The building was First Methodist Episcopal Church at the time of the installation. It was also known as Haverhill Street Methodist. The organ was originally installed in the rear gallery, and was relocated to the front ca. 1880. The building was purchased by the Presbyterian congregation in 1912. The conversion of the Pedal action to tubular-pneumatic was reportedly ca. 1920-22. The expression shades had originally been hitch-down and were converted to balanced. The cost of the organ was $2,600.00.

Database Manager on March 4th, 2010:
Updated through information from Susan Tattershall: -- The pedal action was converted to tubular-pneumatic and the swell shades modified ca. 1912. Renovations by Andover in 1960s included tonal changes, resulting in a new stoplist.
