NOTES: Parts of the case were built for the Egyptian Revival style Downtown Presbyterian Church (nee 1st Presbyterian) Nashville, Tennessee, ca. 1855. by E. & G. G. Hook. That organ was moved to Gallatin in 1914. Most of the Hook was replaced by a Wicks organ in 1947, though the case front was retained in modified form. The upper portions of the case and almost the entire Wicks organ were destroyed in a fire on December 25, 2004. [Originally received from Will Dunklin 2011-06-15].
