Notes
The organ
was originally built for the Savoy Theatre in Eugene, OR. It was
likely free-standing and encased.
The extant Great 8' Open Diapason pipes are painted gold with brown
banding around the tops and outlining the pipe mouth.
The Swell 8' Vox Humana is clearly Estey, but appears to have been
added as an after-thought.
It is not part of the main Swell 3-rank chest, but rather its own chest
provided with an external ventil action.
The organ was moved sometime in the 1930's to Seattle's Columbian
Presbyterian Church on 32nd Avenue
in the Madrona neighborhood and installed as is. Who did the move and
re-installation is not known. It may have been Balcom and
Provorse, or it may have been a regional Estey representative like Mr.
H.C. Ferris. In 1953, Columbian Presbyterian Church merged with
Grace Presbyterian at Columbian's building to form Madrona Community
Presbyterian Church.

The organ primaries
were direct-electrified by organ technician Richard Warburton of
Seattle at an undocumented time,
but well after the church merger of 1953. A used Kilgen
"Imperial"console was provided and a pneumatic
shutter engine was installed to replace the former mechanical linkage
of the original organ. A new blower was also provided.
No tonal changes were made, and the resulting stoplist was:
