Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ was originally built for the Circle (also National) Theatre in Portland, Oregon. It was relocated to the [old] edifice of Laurelhurst Presbyterian in Portland by an unknown person or firm at a presently unknown time. It was installed in two front chambers with no visible pipes. In 1976, the Presbyerians sold this building to the Laurelhurst Bible Church Evangelistic Center (a division of Union Gospel Ministries). Upon examination if February 1990, the organ was found to be in largely poor condition, though still partly playable. The Great was unplayable because the primary had been removed. The two Swell unison strings had been altered to become 2-2/3' and 2' registers. Of the intended 12 console toe studs, 4 still had their labels but didn't work; the remaining 8 were missing their labels. 3 of those didn't work, and the remaining 5 were missing the actual toestud.
