NOTES
The organ was originally built for the Presbyterian Church in Port Henry,
NY. and was later relocated to the Masonic Temple in that same town. In
1978 it was relocated through the Organ Clearing House to Holy Rosary
Catholic Church (old) in Edmonds, WA. and installed with two tonal
changes by Glenn D. White of Seattle dba Olympic Organ Builders.

When Holy Rosary built a new, larger edifice in 1983, the Jardine was no
longer suitable for the size of the space. It was relocated here to St.
Thomas More Catholic Church in Lynnwood, WA. in 1984 by the Bond firm of
Portland, OR. A new II Mixture was installed on the Great replacing the
II Mixture installed in 1978 - which itself had replaced the original 4'
Harmonic Flute.

The organ is free-standing and encased with an attached, projecting key-
desk. The 3-sectional façade contains 21 pipes arranged: 3-15-3. All 15
of the middle flat of pipes are speaking, and 1 of the 3 in each of the
side flats is speaking - making 17 speaking pipes from the Great 8’ Open
Diapason in the façade.
