Jim Stettner on April 2nd, 2026:

This entry represents tonal additions to an existing organ by its original builder. Identified from the instrument entry in Rollin Smith's book, The Aeolian Pipe Organ And Its Music This was the addition of 6 additional ranks including a free-reed 8' Clarinet. The contract was signed September 15, 1908. Cost is unrecorded. The instrument shipped December 20, 1912 and was installed in 1913. Notes indicate that the stop nomenclature was changed to traditional Aeolian.

A new Kimball console was installed in 1937 by Arthur D. Longmore and Charles W. Allen - Kimball reps in Seattle, Washington. The original console was reportedly relocated to the chapel of the Bible Presbyterian Church of Tacoma, Washington in 1970. Unknown where it was from 1937 until then.
