Original Stained Glass Renewed

At 100+ years old and formerly exterior facing, these stained beauties were certainly looking their age. Located in one of six downtown row units all featuring similar stained glass transoms, it was important to maintain the charm. The refurbished panels, now protected by an exterior thermal-pane, were reinstalled today, ready to face the next century […]
