Paul R. Marchesano on January 30th, 2023:
In 1893 the First Presbyterian Church purchased an M.P. Moller organ, as documented in the October 1893 issue of *The Organ*. The instrument does not appear on the builder's opus list, nor do records of the instrument survive in the Moller collection of the American Organ Archives. It is unclear why the church would purchase an organ similar in size to that of the 1872 Hook organ. An article in The Diapason in 1922 claimed that Moller rebuilt the Hook organ, which may explain why it does not appear on the Moller opus list. The centennial history of the congregation makes no mention of the organ or of any event in 1893 that would warrant purchase of a new instrmnent, such as a fire. -- *2007 OHS Atlas*

According to the article in the <i>2007 Organ Atlas</i>, this is possibly a rebuild of the existing Hook organ. If so, it was the Möller rebuild that Hook & Hastings removed to the new building in 1902.
