NOTES
This organ was originally built for the first Grand Theatre in Bellingham, WA. It was
entirely chambered and was controlled from a detached console. The exact nomenclature
of original stops and controls is not known. That building was torn-down in 1912, and
the organ may have been moved to the new building. But if so, it was replaced there in
1916 by a new 3-manual Kimball.
In 1929 it was acquired by Seattle Kimball representative Arthur D. Longmore and rein-
stalled at First United Presbyterian Church in Everett at which time the action was
electrified, although the new or rebuilt console was still air-operated.
