NOTES
The organ was installed at the front of the sanctuary facing down the central axis. It was housed
in a quarter-sawn oak case with 65 gold-painted facade pipes - 17 of which were speaking from the
Great 8' Open Diapason. The facade consisted of 5 flats divided by 4 towers as follows:
5-7-5-9-13-9-5-7-5.
The nomenclature for stops and controls given above is not verified since the original keydesk was
removed in 1978. It is taken from writing on the extant pipes, writing on the toe and rack boards,
and from other extant and documented examples of the builder's work from this period.
The Great 8' Melodia has 12 stopped basses. The Swell 4' Harmonic Flute becomes harmonic at middle
c. The first 12 pipes of the Swell 16' Bourdon are outside the swellbox and diatonically divided at
either side of the box. Wind is conveyed through the walls of the box.
The organ was electrified and tonally altered/augmented by Möller Rep. Harold B. Curryer of
Spokane, WA in 1978. It was removed from its original home in October, 1994, placed in storage,
and then reinstalled in the new edifice in Feb./March 1995 by Meadway & Stettner Pipe organs of
Monroe, WA.
Sources: Extant, electrified organ documented August 1994, and Feb./March 1995.
