2009-11-28 - Updated through information from Ken Marshall. -- When the building was about to be torn down in 1985, the organ was donated to Pasadena Auditorium organ fund. Many pipes were sold to David Junchen and the 32' pedal rank was rebuilt for the Rosales organ at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon. -Database Manager
