Built by: E. & G.G. Hook (1869) - opus 476
- The brothers Hook organ in the Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, Broomfield, Colorado, was built in 1868-1869 as opus 476 for the Methodist Church in Lawrence, Massachusetts. It was dedicated on February 19, 1869 with a concert by J.H. Wilcox. The church was sold to the United Presbyterian Congregation, including the organ, in 1912. The instrument was modified over the years. After the congregation left their church building in 1979, it was sold again, leaving the organ in the church without anybody playing it.
- In 2010 the organ was sold to be used as interim organ in Saint John's Cathedral, Denver, while the main organ (Kimball, 1938) was in restoration. It was renovated by Susan Tattershall and in 2016 was purchased by the Holy Comforter congregation in Broomfield.
