Notes

2005-07-18 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was one of two II-manual, 5-rank Smith organs in a Seattle theatre. The other was at the Madrona Gardens Theatre. It was moved in the 1930s by Balcom and Vaughan to First AME Church in Seattle, and the traps and percussions were removed, except for the chimes. -Database Manager
