Notes

2008-12-23 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- An extant photo shows the organ in a left corner. The metal pipes formed the front facade and a wooden Pedal register formed the right-end facade. The pipes were stenciled. Disposition of the organ is unknown. This information is from archive photos from Central United Methodist -Database Manager

2015-07-04 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. -- The Hook & Hastings organ was built for the original edifice of First Methodist Episcopal in downtown Spokane. Tragically, not long after the Hook & Hastings organ was installed the church burned to the ground. A new structure was built in 1905 and the rest of the church campus was completed and in use by May 26 of 1907. The mostly original Kimball of ca. 1905, built for this building, is still present and occasionally used despite needing complete restoration. -Database Manager
