First Unitarian of Worcester was founded in 1785. The present meeting 
house was dedicated in 1851 and a large 2m E & G G Hook, Op 184, was 
installed in 1855.  It was replaced in 1901 by a Steere III/38, which 
was, in turn, replaced by Casavant Op. 936, a 4-manual. The building 
was virtually destroyed in the New England Hurricane of September 1938 
when the steeple crashed through the roof, smashing the crossbeams and 
demolishing the center structure.  Luckily, the organ escaped serious 
harm.  It was replaced in 1964 by the Aeolian-Skinner.
