That building was totally destroyed by fire in 1849. The church records indicate an organ costing $2,000 was bought for this building and that the organ was lost in the 1849 fire. An E. & G.G. Hook organ was purchased for the 3rd building. First Unitarian's 1st building was built in 1791 on Summer Street. There is no mention of an organ in that building.
