Before. After.

e

BEFORE. The stained-glass window from the telephone closet. Poor dear.

 

p

AFTER! Only a single piece of glass was replaced. At my request, the other cracked pieces were glued together. I much prefer this to discarding damaged historic glass. The stained-glass was restored as part of the Kansas Heritage Grant. Thank you!!!!!!!!

And with light from behind. ME HAPPY!

      Hold a seashell to your ear and you can hear the ocean (no matter how far away from it you are). Maybe that’s why they decided it was an appropriate motif for a telephone closet.

    Hey Ross, When the stained-glass was restored, did they use the copper-foiling method or lead cames? It’s my understanding that they hold up equally well as long as the window has an exterior storm. I know they were done as part of the grant by an outside company, but I’m wondering if you might have any insight. Thanks!

    Beautiful little window! The stained glass in the house is astounding!
