The
organ in Wesley United Methodist Church was built in 1898 by the Jesse
Woodberry Company, their Opus 162, for St. Thomas Church, RC,
Providence, Rhode Island. Relocated with the assistance of the Organ
Clearing House, Harrisville, New Hampshire, the organ has been rebuilt
by the Stuart Organ Company, Aldenville, Massachusetts. Rebuilding
included thorough mechanical refurbishing, revised tonal scheme, and
construction of new casework of mahogany in Chippendale style to
complement the neo-georgian architecture of the church building. The
revised tonal design, encompassing 691 pipes, utilizes pipework from
the Woodberry organ as well as many pipes from Wesley's previous
instrument, Estey Organ Company's Opus 437, 1907. The organ is of
tracker design featuring mechanical action. Case and tonal designs are
by Richard S. Hedgebeth, head of the Stuart firm. Assisting in the
project were Kenneth Ahlberg, John Alberti, Ronald Emerson and David
Koziol.
