Notes

2007-06-13 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a "new" organ created from the merger of two Lutheran churches and their instruments: 1) Christ Lutheran Free and its 1948 Balcom and Vaughan (Op. 456); and 2) Bethany Lutheran (Fairview) and its used, 1919 W.W. Kimball (Op. 6515). The console is retained from the Christ Lutheran Free organ as is the Swell pipework and chest. The Great is from the Bethany Lutheran Kimball. -Database Manager

2008-06-28 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The church is closing, and this Sunday (6/27/08) will be the last services. The church will be officially closed as of July 1. The fate of the organ is as yet undecided. -Database Manager

2019-05-20 - Updated by Sean Haley, who maintains the organ. <br> <br>A few years after the church closed,the organ was given to The Pipe Organ Foundation of Mercer Island who removed it and have dispersed its components. -Database Manager
