NOTES
This organ was originally built for an unknown location within the estate is unknown. It
is believed to have been an out building.

In 1944, it was relocated without tonal or mechanical changes to Forest Street Union
Church in Methuen by Ernest M. Skinner and Son who had taken-up the former Methuen Organ
Co. factory along the Spigot River adjacent to Serlo Hall.

Tonal changes to the Great were made by the Andover Organ Co. in 1965.
