Hook, Opus 468 (1868) Manuals: 2 Registers: 23 Ranks: Action: Mechanical Notes: The original Hook organ for Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church was built for a new building opened in 1868 and was located on the side next to the pulpit. (The congregation built the present building in 1891, moved to the new location, and changed their name to Wesley Methodist.) Built during Hook's "golden age", its advertised 23 registers includes the three couplers and registrational aids such as composition pedals. Information Organ Historical Society Archive and Bill Van Pelt. The organ arrived in Decmber, 1868 and cost $3000. (Plymouth Congregational got an almost identical Hook just before Centenary.)
