According to the Walton opus list, this 2/5 Wurlitzer (opus #363) was originally installed in 1920 in Lewiston's Paramount Theatre. It was eventually repossessed by the Wurlitzer factory and resold in 1928 to the Lyric Theatre. In 1931, the organ went to Sherman & Reed (presumably a funeral home) in Butte, Montana.
 
In 1935, the organ was presented as a gift to the Northwest Nazarene College in Nampa Idaho (west of Boise). It was installed in the college auditorium by Balcom & Vaughan.
