Notes

Database Manager on August 13, 2015:

Updated through online information from steve bartley.  -- The opus list in the OHS book of Hook organs lists an "English Evangelical Lutheran Church" with a Rev. William Brown as pastor. 

The Sun Paper for 5/15/1915 pg10 describes the dedication for "Lutheran Church of the Reformation", William Brown, Pastor". In addition the Polk's Baltimore City Directory lists Brown as the Pastor of the this church and the Maryland Historical Society has a clear photograph of the church interior, showing the organ. The Hook organ was replaced, in whole or part, in 1948 by Schantz, op47.
