Daniel Hancock. -- The "American Musical Directory," by Thomas Hutchinson, published New York City, 1861, reports "Size of organ--2 banks keys, 25 stops, 2 octaves pedals. Built by L.U. Stuart, in 1857." This may be in error; the listing here is based upon information for the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian Church as found on the New York City Organ Project website, 2012-05-24. -Database Manager
