NOTES
This organ as built for Lewis and Clark College and was installed in the auditorium
in Evans Hall. The Swell and Great were divided in chambers on opposite sides of the
stage.
The preceding stoplist has been reconstructed from notes in the files at Balcom and
Vaughan. Pipe counts are partially guessed based on notes in the files. The exact
nomenclature of stops and controls since the organ was later removed.
The console was a new, Kimball console with Balcom and Vaughan switches. The pipework
was mostly new. Used, recycled ranks included the Pedal 16' Bourdon (Kimball), the
Swell 4' Harmonic Flute (Gottfried), and the Swell 8' Vox Humana (Gottfried). The
Pedal 16' Violone is an extension of the Great 8' Open Diapason, and the pipework is
supposed to have come from the 1906 Hook & Hastings, opus 2218 (III-manuals, 39-reg-
isters) built for Pilgrim Congregational Church in Seattle. The Pedal 16' Lieblich
Gedeckt is the same as the Pedal 16' Bourdon, but on soft wind.
The Great 8' Clarinet and Swell 8' Cornopean were added in 1948.
Balcom and Vaughan proposed rebuilding and enlarging the instrument in 1967. It was
to have become a 3-manual instrument with a new drawknob console. The Great division
was to be exposed on the front wall of the auditorium, and the Swelland Choir were to
remain in the original chambers.
