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

2011-07-13 - Updated through online information from Ken Houser. -- Organ was removed, with exception that the faced remains, with electronic Organ speakers hidden behind. -Database Manager

2023-11-29 - I visited the church recently. The instrument is still somewhat in place, and in reasonably good condition - in fact, the leather on the static reservoirs seemed practically new. Unfortunately a significant amount of pipework has been stolen from the organ. Much of the Great is missing, and while I did not enter the Swell box, it appeared to be equally pillaged. The console has been removed. -Colin O'Malley
