2006-10-17 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is the parish's second instrument, but the first in the new building. The old building housing another Austin (Op. 881, 1919) is now the chapel. The Austin was installed in a chamber at the front on the left wall. The console was on the right side of the chancel opposite the chamber with the organist facing the chamber - congregation to the left. The organ was removed by Marceau & Associates of Portland, Oregon in 1997 in preparation for the new Noack tracker. It was purchased by St. Hilda-St. Patrick Episcopal Church in Edmonds, Washington, and was placed in storage there. It was finally installed by parishioners in 2005-2006. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ was originally built for the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany in Seattle.
It was the parish's second pipe organ, and second Austin. The previous building – now
the chapel – housed a 2-manual, 7-rank Austin, Opus 881 built in 1919.
It was installed in a wide, elevated chamber on the left side of the chancel. The
console was placed opposite the chamber on the right side with the organist facing the
chamber – congregation to the left. The Great was on the right-hand and the Swell on
the left. The Pedal Diapason is of open wood for the first 24 pipes, and the first nine
of those were horizontally mounted behind the two manual swellboxes.
The Austin was removed by Marceau & Associates of Portland, OR. in preparation for the
new III-manual, 45-rank Fritz Noack tracker late in 1997. It was purchased by St. Hilda-
St. Patrick Episcopal Church of Edmonds, WA. and stored there for a few years before
being installed by parishioner Giles Shepherd with help from C. Brantley Duddey of Penn-
sylvania. It replaced a II-manual & pedal, 7-rank Estey reed organ.
