Notes

2007-03-03 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was originally built as a II/4 for the Holladay Park Church of God in Portland. It was sold for $3,100.00 and relocated here in 1972 by Wicks representative Charles W. Allen of Seattle with two ranks added: an 8' Dolcan and a 4' Octave/2' Principal unit - both on the Great. -Database Manager

2011-03-05 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- As originally reinstalled, the console was in fixed position, center with the organist facing the chamber. However, since my first visit over 15 years ago, the console has been moved to fixed position, left (when facing the rear gallery) with the organist facing across the rear gallery - chamber to the left. -Database Manager

NOTES
This organ was originally built as a II/4 for the Holladay Park Church of
God in Portland. It was sold for $3,100.00 and relocated here in 1972 by
Wicks representative Charles W. Allen of Seattle with two ranks added: an
8' Dolcan and a 4' Octave/2' Principal unit - both on the Great.

The chimes were added in 1966 as a memorial gift while the organ was still
at Holladay Park Church of God. The memorial plaque stayed with the organ
in Gladstone.
