Trinity Episcopal Church in Boston is gebouwd in de jaren 1872-1877 naar ontwerp van Henry Hobson Richardson. Oorspronkelijk stond het orgel opgesteld in de klein kapel. In 1902 werd een tweede orgel geplaatst bij het altaar. De firma Skinner bouwde in 1926 een geheel nieuw gallery organ. Van dit orgel is het front met de fraai gedecoreerde pijpen bewaard gebleven. In 1963 is door de firma Aeolian-Skinner een nieuw orgel gebouwd achter dit front. Een klein gedeelte van het orgel is geplaatst aan de noordzijde van het koor.
