Notes

2012-03-22 - Identified through online information from Phillip Parkey. -- Rebuild and expansion of existing, previously altered Hook-Hastings Co. organ. New windchests and restoration to mechanical key action. Organ was moved to St. Peter's in 1934. The organ was originally purchased by First Baptist Church of Talladega. The original specification was preserved with two ranks added during the 2009 renovation. The organ was also relocated forward in the chamber for better egress and space to reinstall all the original facade pipes. -Database Manager
