circa 1876 - Nave and organ (Photograph from an archival source: Hamilton Public Library (Local History & Archives, Digital Collection), submitted by Andrew Henderson/Andrew Henderson)
2020-05-25 - The entirety of the instrument's pipework was incorporated into a new instrument by Casavant Frères, Op. 1048 (1924), according to "The Pilgrim's Guide to Christ's Church Cathedral" (2013). One of the few instruments by William A. Johnson to be installed in Canada, based on notes from the Casavant contract, it is likely that the organ's specification was very similar to Johnson & Son Organ, Op. 479 (1876) for Second Congregational Church, Westfield, MA, which was 2 registers larger (cf. Elsworth, "The Johnson Organs," p. 65). -Andrew Henderson
