This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Identified from other related entries on the OHS Database. Notes in the 'About Us' section of the church website state, "In 1913, the Church purchased a pipe organ from the then First Presbyterian Church of Nashville and the Egyptian-style case was added at the same time." [Ed. The latter portion of this statement is errant. The Egyptian style case is original to the Hook as the Nashville church interior was also Egyptian-style. And Austin built a new case for their much larger instrument in 1913).
Notes on the stoplist for the 2008 Bradley Rule & Co. instrument state, "Parts of the case were built for the Egyptian Revival style Downtown Presbyterian Church (nee, 1st Presbyterian) in Nashville, Tennessee, ca. 1855. by E. & G .G. Hook. That organ was moved to Gallatin in 1914. Most of the Hook was replaced by a Wicks organ in 1947, though the case front was retained in modified form."
