Notes

2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager

2005-12-26 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was installed new for Reuter by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle. In 1944, Balcom and Vaughan added a new chancel console - the original being in the rear gallery. Later, the organ was rebuilt and enlarged by Dr. R. Byard Fritts of Tacoma at an undocumented time (who also built the organ for the chapel at Ft. Greely in Fairbanks, Alaska. and who revised the organ at Ft. Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.). Yet another rebuild took place, again at an undocumented time, ultimately enlarging the organ to 24 stops and 34 ranks. -Database Manager
