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

2009-11-21 - Updated through online information from Robert Kerner. -- Helped disassemble the organ when the church was sold to a Greek Orthodox congregation, who did not want it and gave very short notice to have it removed "or they would throw it out." All the pipework was saved, some has already been re-used. The main console components are in storage, for parts. -Database Manager

2025-05-23 - The South Avenue Baptist Church was acquired by a Greek Orthodox congregation in 1998, at which time the Hook organ was removed. -- Information received online from Mark A. Smith, 2025-05-23 -Paul R. Marchesano
