Identified through information from Freeman A. Dryden via e-mail: We are trying to determine the builder and other details of an organ which, from available information was installed in our Parish Church around 1850. (John Bishop, of the Organ Clearing House, suggests it may be by Henry Erben.) At that time (and for some 40 years afterwards) our church was the Cathedral of the diocese. In the 1890s the See was removed to the mainland at Antigonish and took that name. Our church, Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, Arichat, Nova Scotia is still regularly using this organ and with virtually no professional attention it has remained in a state for 150 years. There is no nameplate to be found, and there are no obvious indications of who built it or installed it. Several give conflicting information on its provenance one stating <...from Boston.>; another <...from Philadelphia.> (It MAY have been purchased from another church???) All seem to agree that it arrived in our church around 1850. David Storey is to examine the organ in 2007 and make recommendations for restoration.
