The original Williams College Chapel had a Wm. A. Johnson tracker, op. 137, 1863,
2 manuals, 14 ranks, 20 registers, which now resides nearby in a home on
Williamstown's Main Street. A Hutchings-Votey from 1910 was installed in Thompson
Chapel, and Aeolian-Skinner retained 20 ranks of pipes and added 14 in 1948, with
renovations and a new console. In the late 1950's, new supply house windchests
were installed in the Swell and Great divisions by Andover Organ Company due to
water damage. Aeolian-Skinner installed the Great mixture at a later date. The
pipework is inside the walls on both sides of the chapel.
