Console recently overhauled by Aeolian-Skinner Company. Remote control combination and coupler action. Priced for immediate sale and removal by buyer; $5,000.

Database Manager on March 16th, 2016:
Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. This organ either replaced, or was a rebuild incorporating the previous organ, a 3-manual Steere & Turner, No. 205, 1885; which in turn replaced E. & G.G. Hook No. 14, 1834, relocated from St. John's Church, Providence, Rhode Island and installed second hand in Christ Church, Springfield, in 1851.
Database Manager on May 18th, 2007:
