Brief Description of Subject: This abstract window was originally part of the window that served as the front entrance to the Church. With the addition of a vestibule in 2019, this is still the entrance to the Church but now from the vestibule, thus it no longer receives direct sunlight.
 
The lower portion of the original window consisted of three doors. All of the stained glass from these three doors was removed and replaced with clear glass.
 
The water color by the Loire Studio depicts the original window. The stained glass from the three doors of the lower section is now three lancet windows in the newly created vestibule.

Condition of Window: Good

Height: 8'

Type of Glass and Technique: Slab or Faceted Glass (Dalle de Verre)

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.

If you have any questions, additions or corrections, or think you can provide better images and are willing to share them, please contact donald20@msu.edu
