label: Description
content: <p>Winthrop Haynes of Boxford, Massachusetts, a great-grandson of the original owner of this organ, Robert Rogerson, gave the organ to the donor in 1963. According to Haynes, Eben Goodrich made the organ for a house in Somerset Place, Boston, that Rogerson acquired in 1817. It is housed in an elegant Empire-style veneered cabinet with brass hardware. Red damask screens the upper front; the lower front consists of a removable panel. The back of the case is open, as it apparently was originally. After being moved to the houses of several relatives, the instrument was last in the Haynes house in Boxford. After its restoration in the shop of C. B. Fisk, the donor gave the instrument to the Smithsonian in 1976.</p>
