It was designed in 1963 by Back who became one of Canada’s most celebrated artist and director of short animated films. Nominated for four Academy Awards, winning two for his 1981 film ‘Crac’ and the 1987 film ‘The Man Who Planted Trees’.

St. Isidore Catholic Church
St. Isidore will be opening it’s doors mid-December. The new building is larger, brighter and energy efficient; radiant heating in the floor and low - E thermal panes in every door and window for starters.

Ten windows were documented with sizes, photographs and templates before being crated and transported to storage at St....
Crysler Window – War of 1812
The windows are dedicated to John Crysler whose farm was a battlefield during the War of 1812. Northern Art Glass recently restored them for Upper Canada Village where they are on permanent display.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the famous Scottish architect and Art Nouveau designer was famous for this rose pattern. This window from the turn of the century certainly was inspired by Mackintosh.
