The new parts of the window were designed by the Rev. Mr. Phillip Hazelton, then pastor of the church. Intended to match the style and compliment the colors of the rose window.

The MSGC is a constantly evolving database. Not all the data that has been collected by volunteers has been sorted and entered. Not every building has been completely documented.

All images in the Index are either born-digital photographs of windows or buildings or are scans of slides, prints, or other published sources. These images have been provided by volunteers and the quality of the material varies widely.
