New organ for new church building after total loss fire in 1876.
"In July 1877 the old building’s cornerstone was moved to a new 1,300-seat Normanstyle stone church on Prospect Street and Sterling Avenue (now East Thirtieth Street), then a fashionable neighborhood and one block from Millionaires Row on Euclid Avenue. The dedication took place on October 27 the following year. A three-manual, 42-register E. & G.G. Hook & Hastings, Op. 893, arrived in 1878. This organ was replaced in 1914 by a three-manual J.W. Steere & Son electropneumatic action organ, reportedly costing $12,000."
