Database Manager on November 11th, 2007:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Pipe fence facade at the front, center of the church. Suggested 3-sectional facade with 47 gold-painted pipes arranged: 17-(1-11-1)-17. This was a quite large and complete 27-rank organ with 16-8-8-8-8-4-4-3-2-III-8 on the Great; 16 (t/b)-8-8-8-8-8-4-4-2-8-8 (t/b) on the Swell; and 16-16-8 on the Pedal. The H&H was removed by Balcom and Vaughan between Jan. 5-10, 1953. It was, indeed, rebuilt by Balcom and Vaughan for Trinity Methodist in the Ballard section of Seattle in 1954 with installation in 1954. It was enlarged to 3-manuals on new pitman chests. The organ was replaced by a 3-man. Aeolian Skinner, contracted in 1952 and installed in 1953 - not 1955.
Database Manager on October 18th, 2006:
Replaced by 1955 Aeolian-Skinner; relocated to Trinity United Methodist in Seattle, Washington, electrified and enlarged (by six ranks) as Balcom & Vaughan Op. 575.
