ORIGIN OF THE WINDOWS
The windows of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church are traditional leaded stained glass windows. Most of the windows are designed in the style of the Gothic Revival and were fabricated using handmade, mouthblown antique glass and painted in the traditional trace and matte technique of glasspainting.
The windows of the chancel and most of the windows of the nave were designed and fabricated by the D'Ascenzo Studios. There is also one window (the last window on the left side) that was designed and fabricated by the Willet Studios. In the baptistry are a number of windows (unsigned) that appear to be of English origin. There is also one unsigned window designed in the style of the Tiffany Studios. This one Tiffany-style window was fabricated using American opalescent glasses. The painting on this window (in the flesh only) was executed in the traditional enamel-based technique of glasspainting.
Below are photos and descriptions of each window as they are arranged in the Church from the front of the Nave to the rear, beginning on the Epistle side and alternating sides.
You can click on the photos to larger versions. Note: we are replacing the larger photos as higher quality images become available.
