NOTES
This organ was originally built for Westminster Presbyterian Church in
Portland, OR. It replaced the I-manual ca. 1851 Erben tracker that had
formerly served First Presbyterian Church and was then loaned to
Westminster.

The Estey served both the old Westminster church for which it was built
(1908-1914) and was then moved to the new (present) church (1914-1940).
It was woefully inadequate for the size of the new church, and in 1941
it was replaced by a minimalist III-manual, 9-rank Moller in divided
chambers.

The Estey was sold to the Guenther Organ Co. of Portland, OR and was
offered for resale through them. It was purchased primarily by Zelma
Weymouth - the organist of Kenilworth Presbyterian Church in Portland,
and installed at the church by the Guenther Organ Co.  It has been
serving this congregation since 1941.

At Kenilworth Presbyterian, a set of chimes has been added - playable
from their own keyboard. And the original Swell 8' Stopped Diapason has
been replaced from tenor C and up with an 8' Rohr Flöte.

The bass of the Swell 8' Salicional is borrowed from the stopped bass of
the 8' Rohr Flöte.
