Notes

2004-10-30 - Relocated to Immaculate Conception (St. Mary's) R. C. Cathedral, Portland, OR c. 1995. Fleming chests. Sustained heavy damage in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The L.A. Art Organ Co. supplied new Spencer design Great and Choir chests, which were installed by the Schoenstein Company of San Francisco. They also added a second Open Diapason stop, and rebuilt both sides of the case. The facade pipes repainted sometime during their lives. Holy Cross Church again was heavily damaged in the 1989 earthquake. The church closed and the building was sold to a developer. -Database Manager

2018-05-07 - Church closed and organ moved to Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Cathedral, Portland, Oregon. Three stops were added in the relocation and renovation; OHS Citation retained. -Database Manager
