Dr. Robert Kaye
1995

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ replaced a used, transplanted, 2/5 Maas pipe organ. The present pipe organ has its origins in several sources. It contains pipes from the former Kimball at St. Mary's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland. Several ranks are from the organ at Kimball Hall in Chicago, Illinois - whose organ was first moved to First Methodist Church in Peoria, Illinois before being moved to Portland where it was "synthesized" with the St. Mary's organ, and installed in the Barnes Mansion where Dr. D. Deane Hutchison lived and taught organ lessons for Pacific University and Portland State University. The organ also contains portions of a III-manual, 18-rank, 1928 Guenther originally built for the Salem, Oregon residence of Prof. L.S. Roberts, who taught at Willamette University. The console came from the Hillsboro residence of Shirley Upgrave. It was originally a II-manual console, but was taken to a cabinet shop and rebuilt & enlarged into a III-manual console.
