- On November 23, 1965, a new chancel organ was dedicated in Central Congregational Church on Walnut Street in Newton, Massachusetts, with a recital by Alec Wyton. The organ was built by the company Aeolian-Skinner. They used some ranks of the previous chancel organ of the church, built by George S. Hutchings in 1895. The organ is connected to the Antiphonal Organ, that was installed in the church in 1946. Consultant during the works was Marshall Wilkins, organist of the church.
- The Central Congregational Church in Newtonville was built in 1895, designed by Hartwell & Richardson from Boston. The church has been in use by this domination until 2003, when the building was sold to the Boston Chinese Evangelical Church.
