Notes

2005-07-23 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was moved inside the sanctuary a number of times, and the focal point of worship was changed within the sanctuary as well. The Schlicker was replaced in 2005 with a "new" III-manual, 21-rank organ assembled by the Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer Island, Washington. The Schlicker was moved to and installed at Faith Lutheran in Seattle by Dr. Carl Dodrill, President of the P.O.F., in May. -Database Manager

It was then removed and installed at St. Benedict Episcopal Church (Lacey, WA) in 2024 by Marceau Pipe Organbuilders of Seattle, WA. -René A. Marceau
