Notes

2004-10-30 - The original builder was E. & G. G. Hook (1851, Opus123). -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Rebuild of Hook/Hutchings/Woodberry & Harris. Rebuilt by Andover ca. 1990. -Database Manager

2007-06-04 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Replacement console, relocated to rear gallery, but still controlling both the 1851 Hook and 1895 Hutchings transept organs. Most Laws consoles were imitative of Austin, and it was likely a stopkey console. Source: Andover files -Database Manager
