The organ

The Meeting House has a Hook and Hastings organ (Opus 2559) with the keyboard in the sanctuary balcony and the pipes at the base of the steeple.  The Hook and Hastings organ company of Boston has a rich New England history.   The Hook brothers were sons of a cabinet maker in Salem, Massachusetts where they apprenticed with the organ builder William Goodrich. They moved to Boston in 1832 and began producing larger organs.  When the Hook brothers were getting ready to retire, in 1871, Frank Hastings joined the firm, at which point the name was changed to E. and G.G. Hook & Hastings. When the Hook brothers retired (in 1881), the name was shortened to Hook and Hastings. In its day, Hook was the premier organ building company in the United States.  This is the third pipe organ owned by the parish - the first two also being by the Hook firm in 1843 and again in 1858. The Hook firm took the keydesk, chassis, and pipes in trade from their 1858 organ, leaving the case with the three Romanesque arches to be incorporated into the new instrument — which cost $10,200.  The current Meeting House organ was donated by the Stevens and Osgood families in 1928 in memory of their parents Moses Tyler Stevens (1825-1907) and Charlotte Emeline Osgood Stevens (1831-1906). It was dedicated in worship on Christmas Sunday, December 22, 1928 by organist Moses Tyler Stevens - son of the man in whose memory the organ had been given.
