NOTES
The organ is installed in a front gallery in two, large chambers on either side of the front.
The Great and Pedal are in the right chamber. The Swell is in the left chamber. The console
was originally installed in the gallery as well. In 19 , it was moved to its present position
on the main floor to the right of the altar area. This was done by Wicks representative Philip
A. Larson of Spokane.
The Pedal II Mixture is derived from the Great 8' Principal.
