DETAILS
Exhibited in the 2016 OHS convention(s)
November, 1931: The E.M. Skinner Organ Co. of Boston completed a new three-manual organ costing $23,200 that was installed in the old Feyring case. Twice the size of the Standbridge model it replaced, the Skinner filled the entire space in the loft once occupied by the organ console. A new echo organ was installed behind the pulpit, perhaps in the same framework created in 1908.] - Information from Robinson history [of the organ]
