NOTES
The organ was free-sanding and encased at the front of the room on the
right side. The keydesk was attached and projecting. The 3-sectional
facade contained 23 stenciled and gold-leafed pipes arranged: 5-13-5.
The stops were in down-ward angled stop jambs with oblique faces, and
the couplers were in the nameboard over the Swell manual. The organ
remained hand-pumped until an electric blower was added ca. 1932.
The exact nomenclature of stops and controls is not verifiable. The
above specification was taken from wriing on the extant pipework, and
from other documented and extant example of the builder's work from
this period.
The organ was later electrified, rebuilt, and enlarged by Balcom and
Vaughan of Seattle, Washington in 1966 as their Opus 751.
