Database Manager on May 17th, 2008:
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is designed to be installed in a left corner - having no left side to its case. The 3-sectional front façade contains 25 pipes arranged: 7-11-7. The first 17 pipes of the Great 8' Open Diapason are en facade. A flat of 11 gold-painted dummy pipes wraps around the right side of the case. The Gt. 8' Open Diapason is the only unexpressive manual rank. The four expressive ranks are duplexed to the Great with spelling variations on the engraved stops. Organ originally built for the Swedish Lutheran Church in Moscow, ID. This church later became known as Emmanuel Lutheran and built a new edifice. The organ was relocated to an undocumented church in Spokane, Washington. After a 1972 fire at that church, it was relocated to the rear gallery of St. Paul's Lutheran in Spokane by Don Gorman. St. Paul's subsequently merged with another Lutheran congregation and the building was acquired by a denomination which did not want the organ. It was available for sale on the Internet in 2006. It was later offered to Jim Stettner of Seattle if he would simply remove it. Jim, in turn, gave it to the Pipe Organ Foundation - and it was removed in February of 2007 by Jim, members of the POF, and church volunteers. The facade and Open Diapason were incorporated into the organ that the POF built for Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos of New Orleans in 2007-08.
