Notes

2022-05-01 - This entry is believed to represent the installation of a new organ. However, an organ existed before the church had a fire, and this may be a rebuild. Identified from extant 1950's photos taken by William J. Bunch of Seattle, WA. -Jim Stettner

Websites

• 70 Years of FBC Organists - The early organists at First Baptist Church (1905-1975) are an intriguing collection. One was willful and arguably bad-tempered; another had an unusual name which the press messed up; one was on staff when the Sanctuary and organ burned to a crisp; another was a talented young person whose term was cut short by tragedy; and one formed a folk choir and coaxed a tuneful voice out of the last of the church’s pipe organs. Not dull at all! (Check Internet Archive, archive.is)
