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

2008-01-07 - Updated through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- According to the church's web site's history page, the 1902 sanctuary was destoryed by fire in 1906. The current sanctuary was built on the same site in 1907, so this organ would have been the replacement for the 1902 Hook and Hastings. The church history does not mention the organs, but the building contains a Garland organ (2007) which incorporated pipes from the 1954 Reuter previously used in the building. -Database Manager

2016-07-26 - Updated through online information from Rev. Larry Covington. <br>The Hook and Hastings was replaced by a Pilcher organ in the early 1920s. this organ was moved to the new sanctuary and rebuilt by Karl Boettcher in 1964 as a 3/37. It was located in chambers on either side if the chancel with an antiphonal division in the rear gallery. This organ was replaced by an entirely new organ by Dan Garland. -Database Manager
