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

2007-10-15 - Updated through information from Joseph R. Olefirowicz. -- Carvings on the pipework in Lawrence identified the Asylum Hill organ as the basis for the Laws organ in Holy Rosary Church there. According to church records here (Asylum Hil Congregational), a new organ replaced the E. & G. G. Hook & Hastings in 1911, but there is no documentation about the instrument between 1911 and its appearance as a new installation by Laws in Lawrence, Massachusetts in 1934. -Database Manager
