Built as St. Mary’s Episcopal Church , in the old mill town of Hampden, The large 1903 Adam Stein sits silent, but totally intact. Due to dwindling congregation and a proliferation of Episcopal Churches in the area, the Episcopal diocese converted the building into a community outreach center, with the main part of the church converted into theater space. The Stein organ was the final hurrah of an ambitious rector who greatly enlarged the building in 1901. The organ supplanted a reed organ. Dedication of the organ December 1901. The Great sits just above the impost and behind the small chancel facade. The Choir division stands behind the and slightly above the Great, with the Swell above the Choir. A Nave facing facade does not function.
In the early 1990s’ David Storey restored the keyboards and keydesk. The Great 16 Double open Diapason has several monkey-quint bass pipes as there is no height for full length pipes. The voicing of these pipes is so good that it is nearly impossible to detect the change from open pipes to quinted pipes.
