1893 Johnson & Son, Opus 409   II/28


Specification and effect very much in keeping with vintage.
Survived a steeple collapsed in Hurriacane of 1938.
Seems to be well-maintained and left pretty much intact after a steeple fire of 1987.
Andover had restored it at that time, and currently maintains it.
