Paul R. Marchesano on March 1st, 2022:

Identified by James R. Stettner, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Dennis Cantwell, who installed it in Stanwood, Washington in 1964 and owns it now..
The organ was originally built for Our Lady of Good Help in Seattle, Washington. It was removed in 1949 and placed in storage. In 1964-65, Dennis Cantwell installed the organ at St. Cecelia RC Church in Stanwood, Washington.

Jim Stettner on October 2nd, 2020:

This was the parish's second building (1905-1949). It was abandoned when its foundation shifted after a heavy rain. The organ was moved to storage. It was subsequently acquired by an Catholic school in Federal Way where it was stored for many years, but finally installed in reduced form.

Database Manager on May 22nd, 2009:

Updated through information in Seattle Organ Atlas 2008. -- 'Tubular-pneumatic action. Circumstantial evidence suggests this was the organ originally installed in St. Edward, the pro-cathedral of the diocese of Seattle, but so far definitive documentation has proven elusive. The organ is now in storage."

Database Manager on May 1st, 2007:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner.

Database Manager on October 25th, 2006:
