Database Manager on October 18th, 2012:
An original installation. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in an un-named publication. McCain, 1982, reports "an organ by the Chicago firm of Coburn & Taylor was purchased which used the case and front pipes of the Hook & Hastings, according to Al Mumbrue, St. Luke's historian. It was a 2-manual, 14-stop instrument with a contract pirce of $2,600 allowing $1,800 for the trade-in of the Hook & Hastings. (It would appear that with that arrangement much more of the Hook & Hastings could have been utilized by Coburn & Taylor.) Its stoplist and type of action is unknown. It was until 1922 and its present disposition is unknown." This instrument was replaced in 1922 by Skinner Organ Company Opus 327.
