From Casavant dedication program, April 23, 1959: "Of the registers, 21 were couplers and accessories. In addition, the console was equipped with piston type adjustable combinations and pedal movements. The Steere organ was dedicated Thursday evening, November 14, 1916."
Organ is known from a paragraph in the dedication rogram of its replacement by casavant, April 23, 1959. Though the date is given as 1916, the organ is identified as the J. W. Steere & Sons Company of Springfield, Massachusetts. Presumably this information cam from church historical files, likely the contract. The church maintains an archives and currently has a historian. It continues, "Its specifications indicate a total of 57 registers with 1841 pipes." this is 481 pipes less thatn the Standbridge which it replaced!
