Unknown - Church Exterior (1915) (Vintage Postcard; collection of James R. Stettner,/Database Manager)
Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2006-11-03 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is designed to be installed in a left corner - having no left side to its case. The 3-sectional front façade contains 25 pipes arranged: 7-11-7. The first 17 pipes of the Great 8' Open Diapason are en facade. A flat of 11 gold-painted dummy pipes wraps around the right side of the case. The Gt. 8' Open Diapason is the only unexpressive manual rank. The four expressive ranks are duplexed to the Great with spelling variations on the engraved stops. This church later became known as Emmanuel Lutheran and built a new edifice. The organ was relocated to an undocumented church in Spokane, Washington. After a 1972 fire at that church, it was relocated to the rear gallery of St. Paul's Lutheran in Spokane by Don Gorman. St. Paul's has subsequently merged with another Lutheran congregation and the building has been acquired by a denomination which does not want the organ. It is presently (2006) available for sale. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ was designed to be installed in a front or rear left corner. The
front and right end of the case both had gold facade pipes. The front was
divided into three flats arranged: 7 – 11 – 7. The right end flat ontained
11 dummy pipes. The first 17 pipes of the Great 8' Open Diapason were in
the front facade with the balance between the facade and the swellbox. This
was the only non-expressive manual rank. Notes 1-12 of the Swell 8' Dolce
were borrowed from the 8' Gedeckt. The pistons for setting the combination
action were located over the divisional stop tablets. The organ also had a
21-note set of Maas chimes; compass tenor A thru f 42. They were playable
from the Great manual and used both an added On/Off toggle switch and the
Maas On/Off/Volume selector switch.
In 1969-70, the congregation built a new edifice and purchased a new Reuter
organ. The Möller was sold to St. Paul Lutheran Church in Spokane, Washington.
