Bâti par: George H. Ryder (1896)
Church closed and demolished (1966)


  • Highland Congregational Church in Somerville, Massachusetts, was built in 1894. A pipe organ was installed in 1896 by George H. Ryder. He used some older ranks, probably from around 1860, and new material. The instrument has been preserved in a good condition. But in 1966 the church had to be closed and was demolished. The organ was available for another church, or could be acquired by a private person.
  • The current status of this instrument is unknown. There is a note in the OHS Pipe Organ Database that the instrument would be located in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, but without any further information.
