Updated through information received via e-mail from Orion Pitts: -- The congregation sold this building and now worships in a Unitarian Chapel. The organ went into storage in November 2007. We still own it, and have made it available on loan to Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, 2770 Marin Ave., Berkeley, CA 94708. The installation there is complete (as of November 2008) and it is in the Chapel of the Cross, on permanent loan.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The zimbelstern from the congregation's previous 1958 Verlinden organ was saved and added to the Woodberry & Harris.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- 3-sectional facade containing 21 ornately stenciled pipes arranged: 5-11-5. Organ dedicated in worship on Sunday, October 16, 1995; and that even in recital with guest organist Charles Rus. First United Lutheran has since been forced to leave their Geary Blvd. location due to a conflict with the Synod regarding an ordination. They now worship at the First Unitarian Universalist chapel at 1187 Franklin St., and the organ was moved and reinstalled there.
