About mid-summer of 1891, the one ninety foot high steeple, swaying dangerously in high winds, with anchors at the base loose and shifting, demanded immediate attention. Before bracing timbers could be passed up through the base of the steeple, the entire organ, which occupied the big room behind the present Memorial Window had to be dismantled pipe by pipe and moved out of the way, together with its bellows, wind chests, and beautiful organ case. The original builders of the organ, E.G. Hook of Worcester, MA, sent a qualified crew to Rutland by train to handle this major relocation of the organ.
During the steeple repair, many workmen were simultaneously finishing the front and rear balconies, wiring the church for electricity, installing radiators, plumbing and furnaces for the heating system, preparing the organ chamber behind the choir loft and installing the stained glass windows. When the dirt and dust had been cleaned from the Sanctuary, several thousand organ pipes were cleaned and tuned to perfect pitch.
