NOTES
This organ was originally built for the Methodist Church in Barton,
Vermont. As originally installed, the organ was recessed into a chamber on
the front, right side of the room. When moved to Ellensburg, new case
sides had to be built for the free-standing, exposed installation at the
back of the church.

The organ was relocated through the Organ Clearing House. It was restored
by S.L. Huntington & Co. of Stonington, CT.  The organ was installed in
partnership with Heustis & Associates of Vancouver, BC.

Notes 1-17 of the Great 8' Open Diapason are in the façade as are notes
1-12 of the Great 8' Dulciana.  All remaining façade pipes are dummies.
