2015-11-23 - Removed to storage, with pipework and parts later combined with the 1883 Peragallo-rebuilt E. & G.G. Hook from the closed St. Louis R. C. Church, Fall River, as a new instrument by Peragallo in 2015. -Database Manager

2015-11-23 - The organ's announcement in the June 1951 issue of THE DIAPASON said that the organ was to be installed in a new cathedral designed by Maginnis & Walsh; however, the organ was installed in the 1858 cathedral, which underwent a major renovation at the time of the organ's installation. -Database Manager
