Notes

2005-06-07 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was installed in the Corinthian Room on the 3rd floor. It is in a rear gallery, installed side-by-side (Gt on left w/pedal behind, Sw. on right). The facade has three sections consisting of 3 flats of 16 dummy pipes each. The console projects from beneath the center flat. The temple was purchased by Seattle Community College. The organ is no longer playable, but in very good condition. The college is considering what to do with the organ at this time. -Database Manager
