Notes

2007-10-24 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ replaced a used, 1925 Robert Morton installed in 1941 by Balcom and Vaughan of Seattle. The Wicks was originally 14 ranks when installed. A tenor C, 8' Erzähler was added to the Swell in 1976 and utilized the Swell Unison Silent drawknob. -Database Manager
