DETAILS
Updated through online information from Scot Huntington: This organ replaced E. & G.G. Hook No. 14, a 2-manual instrument built in 1834 and moved to Christ Church, Springfield, Massachusetts in 1851. It is very likely Hook took the 1834 organ in trade, making a trade-in allowance on it against the purchase price of No. 123.
