The Church Windows











The Presbyterian Church shown below is in near Port Allegany, PA. The church had Queen Anne Windows, with the colored glass around the outsides and plain glass in the center. The gentleman who had us make the windows designed them and did them in the "shake 'n bake" plastic "stained glass", after the second time they peeled off and bubbled he called us to do them in real stained glass. We followed his designs. He made the statement that they were all going to be done if he had to pay for them himself. When they were done each one of them was paid for by a member of the church. The four windows at the back of the church were done with painted and fired panels showing scenes from the life of Jesus Christ. Some of the windows have a room behind them so the lighting on them isn't as good as the ones with the outside light coming through them.

The pictures below are from the Presbyterian Church in Utica, Pa. Only the bottoms needed to be redone, the tops were fine.

The windows below are in St. Columbkille's R. C. Church in Stoneboro, PA. The rose window was a restoration. The two windows with the dove and jeweled cross were commissioned by one of the parishioners as memorial windows.


When we were talking about some of the restoration work and new construction Father Bungo asked us if we knew anyone who would paint designs on the glass block windows. At one time part of the church burned and the windows were replaced with the six glass block ones, and they had Christian designs painted on them. I did some figuring and gave him a price on making stained glass windows for over the glass blocks. Needless to say he took me up on it and I designed the windows that are in place now. The smaller ones have the symbols for the four Gospels and the two large ones have crowns, one a gold crown for the King of Heaven and the other the Crown of Thorns.


We dedicated the window with the Crown of Heaven to Jerry's parents, George and Delsie Bauer.
