Notes

Database Manager on March 12, 2012:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner.  -- Since the Seattle OHS convention, the sanctuary interior has been restored to its original design. The organ was literally shrink-wrapped in plastic to protect it from dust during the construction process, and has since been put back into use. Last I saw it in October of 2011 - only the pointed finials atop the case had yet to be reinstated. The Pedal 8- Bass Flute is made from 1926 Estey open wood pipes (opus 2517) from First Congregational Church in Sacramento, California.
