"The organ continues to function, however it could use a little tuning. There are also about 400 rolls that can be played
on the organ's player just above the keyboards. The smallest pipe is about 3" tall by 1/4" diameter and the largest pipe is
over 7' tall by 1' square. The smallest glass chime is 1-3/4" by 3" and the largest is 3-1/2" by 20".

"John D. Coleman did not play the organ himself, so having the rolls allowed him to entertain his guests as though he did.
He built the home around the organ as it main centerpiece. After his death the home passed to his daughter, Elizabeth Coleman Scott.

"Elisabeth's husband was Leslie M. Scott, son of Harvey W. Scott, co-owner and editor of The Oregonian newspaper from 1865 to 1910.
After Harvey's death in 1910, his son, Leslie became vice-President of The Oregonian. Under Leslie's tenure, The Oregonian
began to experiment with the new technology called - Radio. About 1922, The Oregonian started a radio station
called KGW and it broadcast several hours of news each day. Somewhere along the way they got the idea to also broadcast organ music.
For many months KGW had a direct phone line from the radio station to our home, and microphones located within
the two pipe chambers. Someone either played the organ or mounted and played the rolls in real time broadcasts.
I believe these occurred on Sundays."
