2007-02-28 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Uncertain if this is original or perhaps second-hand. Does not appear on the Wicks list for Portland, though opus 528 is listed for Sherman, Clay & Co. The console seems to clearly be Wicks, though the stoptablets and interior mechanism are much newer Klann components. -Database Manager
2021-08-09 - This was the installation of a used Wicks organ from Sacred Heart R.C. Church in Tacoma, Washington which was the 3rd home for the organ (1953). It was originally built for the Park Theatre in Tacoma, and was then moved to Radior Station KMO in Tacoma by Balcom and Vaughan in 1931. -Jim Stettner
