This is a rebuild of an existing organ.
Identified by Scot Huntington, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- The Hillgreen, Lane & Co. instrument was the second known organ in the large brick building built ca. 1875. Oral history related by the organist present at the time of the of the Hillgreen, Lane installation, thought the former organ was second-hand and was built by Hook & Hastings. This can not now be confirmed. The Hillgreen, Lane & Co. organ reused pipework from this instrument. The building was condemned in 1967 for severe structural deficiencies and torn down with the organ placed in storage. A new, smaller building erected on the same spot was dedicated in 1968, and the Hillgreen, Lane & Co. instrument was downsized and rebuilt as a new 2-manual organ using some old chests and pipes by Bryant Parsons & Sons of Parsons, New York. The immense H,L & Co. horseshoe console was sold to Alfred University to replace the inadequate supply-house console of their amateur-built three-manual teaching organ. With the closure of the Alfred University organ department in the early 1980s, the studio organ and H,L & Co. console were junked.
