Howard Burr purchased the organ in 1957. It was previously installed in Renton's Maple Leaf Tavern. According to Eugene Nye's detailed records, Balcom & Vaughan relocated the instrument to Mr. Burr's modest Wallingford bungalow at a cost of $2,060.
 
The organ was originally from Seattle's Woodland Theatre.
 
In 1997, the organ was purchased by the Everett Theatre Society. It was installed in the Everett Theatre largely due to volunteer efforts.
