Hillgreen, Lane & Co. (Opus 1047, 1925, enlarged 1940)
First Congregational Church
Wellsville, New Yorl
Three-manual horseshoe console
All ranks 73 notes and independent, unless specified.
This organ was a rebuild and enlargement of a two-manual tracker reputed to have been a second-hand Hook & Hastings, but which now seems unlikely.
The annotations are taken from the 1925 factory contract and NEW refers to the stops added at that time, all other stops being recycled from the former tracker.
Console moved as part of 1940 enlargement.
