Notes

2005-03-01 - 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

2013-01-10 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- Circa 1968 the church burned to the ground. Whether this organ or another perished in the fire requires further investigation. The church rebuilt on Central Avenue across from the University, and installed a two-manual Schlicker with electric action, in 1970. -Database Manager
