Database Manager on February 20th, 2007:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has a 3-sectional facade with 29 pipes arranged: 7-15-7. The two side flats are clearly from the Great 8' Open Diapason. The center flat of 15 pipes is "sub-divided" as 7 metal pipes in the center flanked by 4 wooden pipes on either side. These were likely from the Great 16' Bourdon. Behind and above the center section are what appear to be 13 reed resonators. And this could have been from the Great 8' Trumpet. The organ was later relocated to Willamette University and was electrified there. It was later placed in storage at the Catholic Diocesan headquarters. It was ultimately acquired by the Bond firm and the pipes incorporated into a new organ after a fire destroyed their former Kilgen, which had also been rebuilt and enlarged by the Bond firm. The Bergstrom chests were acquired by Meadway & Stettner Pipe Organs of Monroe, Washington and are still extant in storage as of 2/17/07.

Eventually to Waller Hall, Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, probably after a 1919 fire there. Electrified. Removed from Salem in 1988. Most of the pipework incorporated in a Bond organ for Holy Rosary, Portland, Oregon.
