Notes
2008-10-06 - Identified through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- Previous organ was built in 1856 for First Presbyterian Nashville, moved to Gallatin church in 1914, and enlarged in 1949. Organ damaged by fire in 2004, Rule built a new instrument retaining the historic facade and roughly 100 pipes. (information from article in "Tennessean" dated Oct 4 2008) -Database Manager

Parts of the case were built for the Egyptian Revival
style Downtown Presbyterian Church (nee 1st Presbyterian)
Nashville, Tennessee, c. 1855. by E.&G.G. Hook. That
organ was moved to Gallatin in 1914. Most of the Hook was
replaced by a Wicks organ in 1947, though the case front
was retained in modified form. The upper portions of the
case and almost the entire Wicks organ were destroyed in
a fire on December 25, 2004.
