Database Manager on December 5th, 2014:

Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- The building was neo-colonial brick contemporary with the organ. The choir was slightly above and behind the pulpit, with a balustrade at waist height. The pipes were behind a balustrade facade above choir head level and spanning the width of the loft. Great and Swell were in separate enclosures. I believe the Pedal 16 Bourdon was located with the Great.

Database Manager on October 2nd, 2005:

On line update from Kenneth Courtney: Replaced with Casavant #3028 in 1969 when the church built a new building. The Hook & Hastings was stored until c. 1987, when it was given to a Presbyterian church in Florida.

Database Manager on March 1st, 2005:

Identified from company publications as edited and expanded in The Hook Opus List 1829-1935, ed. William T. Van Pelt (Organ Historical Society, 1991).
