NOTES
The organ was free-standing and encased in a quarter-sawn, oak case, but
recessed into an alcove. This was on the front wall of the church at the
right side. The keydesk was attached and projecting. Stops were activated
and cancelled by the typical Haskell miniature keyboard placed over the
Swell manual. The pipes were stencilled rather than being painted the more
traditional gold. The predominant color was forest green with cream, black, and 
gold bands and highlights.

The exact nomenclature of stops and controls is not verified, but rather
based upon the extant, electrified organ, writing on the original pipes
and chests, and other extant and documented examples of the builder's
work from this period.
 
The organ was electrified and rebuilt with a new console by Balcom and
Vaughan of Seattle in 1949 as their opus 485.
