Notes
The organ
was installed in two chambers in an elevated choir loft at the front of
the church.
Both chambers were located on the right side, somewhat behind a
proscenium arch.
The original
console was later replaced with a new one.
The church had a later
merger and was renamed Congregational Christian Church.
In 1972, Balcom and Vaughan Pipe Organs, Inc. of Seattle added a new,
all-electric console and made tonal additions.
A 4' Octave and II Mixture [15-19] were added to the Great. The cost of the console was
$6,000.00,
and each of the two new additions cost $1,800.00. The labor to install
the new console, chests, and pipes was $325.00
bringing the total to $9,925.00 plus any applicable taxes.
In 2002, the
congregation had dwindled substantially, and they sold their building
to a Unitarian congregation.
Similarly, First Christian - which has a II-manual, 13-rank Moller -
did the same.
These two congregations have merged together with plans to combine the
instruments together in a new building when built.
