NOTES
This organ was originally built this location. 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 that church by the Guenther Organ Co.

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