Notes

2004-10-30 - The original builder was Hook & Hastings. [J.R.S., Ed.: If the original organ was a Hook & Hastings, then it was a second-hand instrument. While the Hook opus list has 14 entries for Rochester, NY., none were for Our Lady of Victory, and in fact, none of them were for Catholic churches.] -Database Manager
