NOTES
The organ is free-standing and encased. The 3-sectional facade contains
19 stenciled pipes arranged: 5-9-9. The keydesk is attached, projecting
keydesk with a lid that opens to form a music rack.

The organ was originally built for First Presbyterian in Seattle and was
the second pipe organ in that city. In 1907 it was moved to Hillcrest
Presbyterian in West Seattle. In the 1950's, it was moved to House of
Prayer Lutheran Church in Burien. Later, it was moved to a basement 
practice room at Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland, WA. It was
finally moved by students to the chapel of Trinity Lutheran Church in
Parkland, adjacent to the PLU campus.
