NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased at the front. The 5-sectional stenciled façade
contains 37 pipes arranged: 7-5-13-5-7. The keydesk is attached and projecting with a
lid that lifts to form a music rack. The stops are as drawknobs on either side of the
manuals. The couplers are also as drawknobs, placed over the top manual. The organ was
reportedly restored by Frans W.M. Bosman of Mosier, Oregon at an undocumented date.
