- In juni 2003 voltooide Nelson Barden een nieuw orgel voor de Community of Jesus in Orleans, Massachusetts. Bij de bouw is pijpwerk gebruik van verschillende Skinner-orgel uit de jaren 1906 tot 1939. Het orgel van Skinner uit 1923, opus 310, was afkomstig uit de Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights, Cleveland. Dit orgel werd in 1964 overgeplaatst naar Orleans, en vormde de basis voor het nieuwe orgel.
- De orgels van Skinner waarvan pijpwerk is gebruikt waren: opus 140 (Episcopal Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland, Ohio, 1906), opus 179 (Second Congregational Church - Skinner Memorial Chapel, Holyoke, Massachusetts, 1909), opus 296 (Independent Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia, 1919), opus 310 (Plymouth Church of Shaker Heights, Cleveland, Ohio, 1923), opus 324 (Victory Theatre, 1920), opus 417 (Congregation of Kehilath Anshe Mayriv, Chicago, Illinois, 1923), opus 655 (Saint Paul's Episcopal Church, Rochester, New York, 1927), opus 711 (Masonic Temple Auditorium, Rochester, New York, 1928), opus 762 (First Presbyterian Church, East Orange, New York, 1929) en opus 991 (Broadway Tabernacle, New York City, ca. 1936).
- In 2019-2020 is het orgel voltooid door het plaatsen van een aantal nog gereserveerde registers. De ingebruikname was gepland voor 5 december 2020 met een concert door Thomas Murray, maar in verband met de Covid-19 epidemie is het concert een jaar uitgesteld tot 4 december 2021.
