Database Manager on August 22, 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) -- Reconstruction of an earlier instrument. Possibly the 1898 Hook, Op. 1812. The Hook Opus List just says "St. Francis. (Reconst'd.)" and gives a slightly larger register count than Opus 1812.
