Brief Description of Subject: this building has a floral design on edges with a leaf in the center of the glass. the design appears to be painted, perhaps between glass. the glass is bordered with a 4” panel with a daisy design. The leef design found in the center is surrounded by solid color diamonds of red and green. The original building where the window was installed no longer exists. According to a pamphlet published by the Church of Christ (approx. 1980): The original building (in 1906) had been a Congressional Church, but later that year became the “People’s Church.” In 1907, the building was purchased from the Congressional board for $3050. On December 4, 1927, the church building burned down and a new one was constructed in 1928. The window which survived the fire with some damage was installed in the NW portion of the rear of the newly constructed 1928 Church. This church was torn down in 1986, to allow a larger first church of Christ to be constructed. salvage belonged to contractor Joe Burton who became the owner of the window, which is actually the top portion of an 8’ to 10’ window. The glass in the window measures 44” long by 25” wide. Windows is not presently installed and needs repair. It now resides with the Burtons in the old wines home, built in 1905.
