Notes
2004-10-30 - Restored c. 1992 by Richard Bond. -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - From James R. Stettner: This is the oldest original organ in its original home in the state of Washington. -Database Manager
2006-11-25 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has a 3-sectional façade containing 35 handsomely stencilled pipes arranged: 5-25-5. Both the Great 8' Open Diapason and 8' Dulciana have basses en façade. the pipes were reputed to have been stencilled by Mr. Genung himself. The original cost was $2,500.00 which was raised through the efforts of the Ladies Aid (Society of Church Workers). The organ was brought forward and lowered several feet in a choir platform redesign. And the Tremolo is a modern replacement. -Database Manager
