Built by: William Jackson & Co. (1868)


  • William Jackson built a pipe organ for Saint James' Episcopal Church in Woodstock, Vermont in 1868. This was a wooden church building, that could be replaced by a new stone building in 1907-1908. The organ was also replaced, and the Jackson organ was sold to the Methodist Episcopal Church in Woodstock. Boston organist Samuel B. Whitney was consultant during the relocation.
  • The Methodist Episcopal Church closed in 1929. When in 1929-1930 a new church was built for the independent Catholic Church in South Deerfield, they acquired the organ. It was installed in their building in a new case with a contemporary prospect design. Three pneumatic combination pistons were added to the organ.
