2013-09-13 - This entry describes alterations to an existing organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This was the addition of two ranks to the existing organ which had been electrified by Balcom and Vaughan eight years earlier in 1945. Replaced by an electronic substitute in 1990s, but organ remained in place. In 2006, Westminster Presbyterian and Church at the Center merged at the Westminster location. In June of 2008, after two years of worshiping together and developing our new identity, we were officially chartered as Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church. <br>When Capitol Hill Presbyterian wanted the organ chamber space as storage, the windchests (which had been releathered) were taken to the dump. The bottom seven 16' Double Open Diapason pipes got milled-down for shelving. The pipework was all stored in the attic, and was subsequently mostly dispersed at the hands of Carl Dodrill and the Pipe Organ Foundation. In 2010, the original double-rise regulator was acquired by Puget Sound Pipe Organs to replace a missing regulator at Resurrection Lutheran Church in Des Moines, WA for that church's 1889 Whalley & Genung tracker organ. The original Kimball case is still in the attic as are the Pedal 16' Bourdon and the remainder of the 16' Double Open Diapason. -Database Manager
