Old South Church in Boston

This guide to Old South Church in Boston opens in 1982, as a wrecking crew circles a condemned auditorium in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with seven thousand silent organ pipes waiting behind its stage. You'll hear how the instrument was built in 1921 by the Ernest M. Skinner Company for a civic hall that later fell out of fashion, and how a rescue team from Boston and Yale learned of the demolition only weeks in advance. It follows the scramble to save the pipes before the hammers arrived, and where a Minnesota showpiece would eventually find a second life.
