2015-06-15 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The 2008 OHS Organ Atlas description of the chronology of the Moline is a bit misleading. It leads one to think that the Moline was sold to Balcom and Vaughan in 1925. But in 1925, First Presbyterian dedicated their new building housing a new 4-manual Reuter. Their previous edifice was sold to Central Lutheran who inherited the Moline organ with the building purchase. The Central Lutheran website states in the Church history section, "Central Lutheran's first home was the ornate 1889 wooden church at 1001 South G Street in downtown Tacoma, originally built for the First Presbyterian Church. In 1954, Central's congregation received orders from Pierce County to vacate the building for the new County-City Building which was to be constructed on the site. On March 6, 1955, the last service was held at the old church." The Moline was never sold to Balcom and Vaughan. They were contracted to remove, electrify, enlarge, and reinstall the Moline in the new edifice. Reuter was sub-contracted for the drawknob console, new chests for the Great, Swell, and Choir, and 10 new ranks of pipes. -Database Manager
