Following is a link to Daniels Recital Hall... Formerly home of First United Methodist Church... and
its Austin pipe organ 8)
And other bits of intrigue, like the quarter-century battle to save the building taking a turn in our State Supreme Court and a "landmark" decision... and the number of railway freight cars it would take to haul the rubble of the historic church to landfill if the congregation had their way :o
Links from that page are a really interesting read 8)

The high-rise going on the property is currently under construction and the recital hall is undergoing
restoration work as this is being written. Was in Downtown Seattle a few weeks ago having invited a friend to attend the free organ recital down the street at Benaroya Hall, home of the Seattle Symphony, and noticed the work in progress as we drove by.
Do have a look at the related articles, Youtube videos, etc...
Glad David got the forum up and running, hopefully for a long time without annoying failures...
