Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a style 35 Kimball with three ranks: Diapason, Concert Flute, and Viola. In 1942, the organ was sold to Charles W. Allen of Seattle, who had represented Kimball with Arthur D. Longmore. It was installed with other used ranks at Lake Burien Presbyterian Church in Burien (Seattle), Washington. It was replaced there by a new Reuter and relocated to a private residence in Seattle. Then relocated to a new residence for the same family on Orcas Island, Washington. It was relocated again to the David Thoreson residence on Camano Island. And ultimately, it was sold to St. Aidan's Episcopal on Camano Island.
