DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGAN.
This Organ is from the celebrated factory of Messrs. Hook & Hastings, of Boston, Mass., being the 1313th instrument they have built. This house enjoys a reputation which has been won by the long continued excellence, and magnitude of their works. These include a great number of large and costly organs in every important city in the United States, and especially some of the most remarkable instruments ever built in America.
The exterior of Organ is of an original and beautiful design formed by several groups of large pipes, above a belt moulding with finely moulded panels beneath.
The two principal groups of pipes project boldly and are supported on corbels.
The decoration of the pipes is in deep crimson and blue on a gold ground, giving an effect of rare elegance and good taste.
In the treatment of the tone portion great care has been taken to produce a thoroughly symmetrical and well balanced instrument.
In each of the four distinctive varieties of tone—Diapason, String, Flute and Reed—the characteristic qualities are fully developed, and in combination, their richness, sonority and blending effect is as strongly marked. In varieties of tone, and the wealth of mechanical appliances for bringing the whole instrument under the perfect and easy control of the Organist, this Organ is excelled by none, and it stands as a whole without a superior in its class.
The bellows are operated by a powerful water motor, located in the cellar of the Church.
Updated by J. David Williams, who has heard or played the organ. Additionally, J. David Williams listed this web site as a source of information: http://lafayetteorgan.com/organ/Welcome.html.
Replaced by Austin Opus 302 in 1910, retaining the case and some pipe work.
Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in The Hook Opus List 1829-1935, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991).
