The Historic Coleman-Scott House
The 17-stop roll player Estey pipe organ (recorded as the firm's Opus #1430) was built in Brattleboro,
Vermont, specifically for this residence. The organ features an ornate console;
the pipes above are decorative only. The main mechanism is fit into a room on
the second floor behind lattice work and contains bellows and wood and metal
pipes. In the attic there is a room containing more wood and metal pipes as
well as glass “chimes.” Music is broadcast through channels in the attic and
back downstairs through the cast plaster ceiling grates in the elegant living
room. The closet to left of console contains more than 200 rolls. Music from
the organ was broadcast live during the early days of radio over KGW (owned by
The Oregonian newspaper).
