NOTES
According to the Balcom and Vaughan opus list, this organ was originally built by Wm.
Wood of Hillsboro, OR. It was probably a small theatre organ and had only I-manual. It
was installed in this building when it was Buckley-King Funeral Home. As originally
installed, it was only 3 ranks - probably the Diapason, Flute, and Salicional. The
Dulciana, Celeste, and tenor C Oboe were added at an undocumented later date. The console
was a new Kimball console at the time of installation. It is electro-pneumatically
operated.
The building was acquired by First Presbyterian ca. 1983 to be used as administrative
offices adjacent to the church. The chapel and organ were retained.
