NOTES
This parish was a German Lutheran congregation originally affiliated with the
Iowa Synod. After various Synod mergers it was affiliated with the American
Lutheran Church, and ultimately the E.L.C.A.
The organ was originally built for this location in downtown Seattle. It was
a 2-manual, 7-rank, free-standing, encased, tubular-pneumatic organ with an
attached keydesk. It was installed in the rear gallery. The first 17 pipes of
the Great 8' Open Diapason were painted gold and in the facade.
The organ was purchased as a memorial, and a plaque at the console reads:
Gestiftet
von
Frau KATHARINA HEMRICH
1912
Psalm 95, 1-2
The chimes were added in 1943, again as a memorial, and the plaque at the console reads:
Chimes
Given in Memory of
WILLIAM H. MAY
by Mrs. William H. May
December 25, 1943
The chimes were likely played from their own separate keyboard since the Estey
was still tubular-pneumatic when they were added.
When the congregation moved from the old church to the present Wallingford loca-
tion, the organ was removed, electrified, and reinstalled by Balcom and Vaughan
with a new console, and placed entirely under expression in an elevated chamber
on the left side of the chancel. This work cost $3,447.90. All original Estey
chests and pipes were retained.
