According to Jim Stettner, the organ was moved by Balcom and Vaughan in 1944 to Hope Lutheran church on S. Puget Sound Ave. in Tacoma. Balcom and Vaughan removed the original Vox Humana and Trumpet and replaced them with a TC 8' Dulciana and 8' Open Diapason respectively. As of 2016, the building is occupied by First Congregational church.
