This entry represents the moving and re-installation of an existing organ for the same congregation in a new location. The original builder was Geo. Kilgen & Son (1887).

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004: 
Kilgen  moved by Harris to new building.  Moved again in 1923 to 1728 W. 6th St. (by whom)? Building & organ sold 1927.  Used by several denominations after 1927. The Full Gospel Tabernacle, Los Angeles, CA owned it in 1978, & sold the organ through OCH to Holy Rosary R. C., Edmond, WA. [Was this in a chapel of First Baptist at any time?]
