NOTES
The organ was originally built for the Presbyterian Church in Port Henry,
NY. and was later relocated here to the Masonic Temple by an undocumented
person or firm.

In 1978 it was relocated through the Organ Clearing House to Holy Rosary
Catholic Church in Edmonds, WA. and installed with two tonal changes by
Glenn D. White of Seattle dba Olympic Organ Builders.

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.
