NOTES
The beginnings of this instrument were in the 3-manual 1756 Richard Bridge instrument
built for King's Chapel in Boston, Massachusetts. The organ was rebuilt in some manner
in 1861, reportedly by Wm. B.D. Simmons. The extant keydesk is certainly indicative of
the Simmons style. It may have been installed at the Congregational Church in Ware,
Massachusetts at this time. It was rebuilt by Wm. A. Johnson & Son in 1888 for this
church. The 1960's Andover work was due to water damage after a fire. The later work was
chest re-tabling. The organ uses the Great and Choir windchests and some of the Bridge
pipework. This also includes the Goodrich Pedal pipes added in 1824.
