1976 Charles Aitken  restoration

  • In 1893 the Johnson & Son company built an organ for the Concregational Church in Kent, Connecticut. The instrument was overhauled in 1976 by Charles Aitken. A new pedal keyboard has been placed and a Fifteenth was installed on Great.
  • In 2008 it was decided to replace the organ with a large electronic organ. It was then transferred to the Smithfield Church in Amenia, New York. The restoration of the organ case and the facade was completed in 2010. The prospect pipes are from an Estey organ that stood in the First Presbyterian Church in Holyoke, Massachusetts.
