Database Manager on December 29th, 2010:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was replaced by Balcom and Vaughan's Opus 879 in 1994 - which was itself a major rebuild and reconfiguration of their Opus 821 built in 1976 for a church in Seattle. Only a handful of the original 1908 Kimball stopped wooden pipes were retained along with the console. The rest was likely taken in trade, and dispersed.

Database Manager on September 26th, 2005:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was an electrification of the existing, 1908, tubular-pneumatic Kimball organ. The primaries and stop actions were electrified, and two ranks were added. Chimes were added in 1945. Organ technician Richard Warburton is purported to have done some renovations to the organ in later years, but the nature of this work is not documented.
