Updated through online information from Sawyer Best: This organ was 7 ranks as installed by Wurlitzer, and was not expanded until it was removed and reinstalled in a home and later Kenyon Hall in Seattle, which is when it reached 17 ranks.
The instrument is now installed in Kenyon Hall, Seattle, Washington.
The congregation built a new church building in 1953 which opened in 1954. According to Jon Habermaas, the instrument was removed by the Wicks Organ Company when a new instrument was sold to the church. Don Born of Norridge Illinois acquired the organ in 1958 and installed it in his home. In 1970, the organ moved again. This time to the Pam Martz residence in Antioch, Illinois. In 1998-99, the organ was advertised for sale in Theatre Organ magazine. Hokum Hall purchased the instrument in 1999. The original church-style horseshoe console was not used. Another two-manual console, previously owned by Fr. Terrence Wager of St. Columban in Yelm, Washington is currently connected.
Known from a history of the organ on the Puget Sound Pipeline website, Kenyon Hall page - it's current location.
