Organ relocated without any change. Identified by Thom Thomas, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Original installation of the organ was an orphanage in Worchester, Mass. The instrument was then moved to St. Anna's R.C. in Leominister, purchased in 2010 by Thom Thomas and set up in his barn. Main reservoir restored at that time. It is on loan to Holy Cross and is for sale.
