Database Manager on March 16, 2016:

Updated through online information from Scot Huntington.
This organ replaced an electronic device, which in turn replaced a 4-rank Wurlitzer Style B theater organ from Bath, New York, in turn replacing Hook & Hastings No. 1681, 1895, an original installation in this church (extant in the Congregational-Christian church in near-by Hartwick, New York).
