NOTES
This organ was originally built for the old edifice of Christ the King Catholic Church
in nearby Richland, WA. When that parish built a new facility, a new II-manual Casavant
tracker was installed in the new sanctuary, and the Möller was sold to St. Joseph's in
Kennewick where it was installed by an unknown person or firm.
The organ is installed in the rear gallery and is housed in a free-standing case with
dummy gold façade pipes. The console was detached and placed directly in front of the
case with the organist facing the case.
