From the C. B. Fisk website, "The organ began life in 1855 as E. & G.G. Hook Opus 1352. Charles Fisk held the Hooks in great esteem, and as in earlier restoration projects, sought to retain the core of their work. The instrument was reconditioned and its case enhanced to match the classical revival architecture of the early 19th century church. It was repositioned in a gallery at the front of the church with a new detached console to facilitate accompanied choral repertoire. Assigned Fisk Opus number 61, the two-manual, twenty-three stop organ was completed in 1972."

Updated through online information from Len A. Levasseur.

There is a discrepancy on the Fisk web site where it states this instrument "began life in 1855 as E. & G.G. Hook Opus 1352." The Hook & Hastings Opus list shows Opus 1352 was built in 1887 by Hook & Hastings for Bethany Chapel in Brooklyn. The note from the PC database indicating this is a rebuild of Opus 196 (which was an E. & G. G. Hook organ)) also appears to be in error.

The original builder was E. & G. G. Hook (1856, Opus 196).
