Notes

2006-10-17 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a rebuild and installation of the 1908, T-P Estey, Op. 578, originally built as a one-manual, seven-rank instrument for Seattle's Jewell Theatre. It was later moved to Middlestadt Mortuary by an undocumented individual or company, though it would likely have been Balcom and Vaughan. It was installed here in 1957. In 1984, the organ was refurbished by Balcom and Vaughan Pipe organs, Inc. of Seattle without tonal changes. No work was done to the console, but the existing windchests were almost all replaced with new, Kilgen-style E-P unit chests. -Database Manager
