Notes
The organ was installed in two chambers in an elevated choir loft at the front of the church.
 Both chambers were located on the right side, somewhat behind a proscenium arch.
 
The original console was later replaced with a new one.
 
The church had a later merger and was renamed Congregational Christian Church.

In 1972, Balcom and Vaughan Pipe Organs, Inc. of Seattle added a new, all-electric console and made tonal additions.
A 4' Octave and II Mixture [15-19] were added to the Great. The cost of the console was $6,000.00,
and each of the two new additions cost $1,800.00. The labor to install the new console, chests, and pipes was $325.00
 bringing the total to $9,925.00 plus any applicable taxes.
 
In 2002, the congregation had dwindled substantially, and they sold their building to a Unitarian congregation.
Similarly, First Christian - which has a II-manual, 13-rank Moller - did the same.
These two congregations have merged together with plans to combine the instruments together in a new building when built.
