NOTES
This organ was originally built for the Richmond, VA. residence of Dr. Hannah Leonhardt.
It was made available thru the Organ Clearing House, and was subsequently sold to St.
Andrew Lutheran Church in Vancouver, WA.

The organ was erected here in April of 1983 by Organ Historical Society members Randall
J. McCarty and David Calhoun. The manual stops are housed in a free-standing case with
an attached, projecting keydesk. The Pedal is unenclosed and stands to the right side
of the case. There first 28 pipes of the 2' Prinzipal were in the façade. The organ was
mentioned in the "Organ Update" column of The Tracker, Vol. 28, No. 1, 1984, pg. 7.

Both the church and the organ were destroyed by a fire caused by an electrical short
circuit on August 11, 1994. The education building was spared. This announcement also
appeared in the "Organ Update" column of The Tracker, Vol. 38, No. 3, 1994.

A new church was subsequently built which houses a II-manual, 1887 Cole & Woodberry
tracker relocated thru the Organ Clearing House from St. Mary-of-the-Bay RC in Hull, MA.
It was rebuilt and enlarged by Jeremy Cooper of Concord, NH.
