Organ relocated without any change. Identified by Steven E. Lawson, using information found in Koster, John. "Keyboard Musical Instruments in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston." pub. by the museum (1999). -- This organ was originally installed in Trinity Church (Epis.), Van Deusenville, Mass. In 1964, the church was converted to a residence. In 1965, the organ was purchased at a used furniture store in Housatonic, Mass., by Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Lehman, who installed it in their New York City residence. In 1976, the Lehmans donated the organ to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston where it is extant.
