1917

  • President Theodore Roosevelt came to Emmanuel for his son Archie’s wedding.  See a Library of Congress clip of their arrival on Newbury Street.
  • Emmanuel organist Lynnwood Farnam designed and supervised the installation by Casavant Frères of a 137-stop pipe organ, which was the third-largest in N. America.  See also Timeline entry 1918 about its dedication &  2007 about its sale and restoration.
