Notes

2005-02-15 - Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in <i>The Hook Opus List 1829-1935</i>, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991). -Database Manager

2009-12-05 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- An 1894 photo of the organ shows a 5-sectional facade with 33 stenciled pipes arranged: 7-7-5-7-7. It appears that this was possibly a size 13 or 14 instrument as described in an 1881 Hook & Hastings brochure. The organ was ordered in 1887, and perhaps installed in 1887 as well. But the dedication took place on February 20, 1888. When a new edifice was built in 1907, the organ was moved, rebuilt, and enlarged by Murray Harris. -Database Manager
