Problems Deflection (bulging) along the border glass, indicating failure of the lead. Support rods have broken free of the panels. The Restoration Remove all panels and transport to Willett Hauser studio for Historic Restoration. Insert plywood to seal the openings. It will be painted on the interior and exterior, to complement the colors of the building. Remove loose paint on the outer surface of the millwork and repaint with two coats of paint. Restoration Schedule Returned June, 2010		The twenty-four clerestory windows, installed in the renovation of 1926 and made by Wilbur Herbert Burnham, are in the early fourteenth century grisaille style. They were created to provide light, and are white with geometric design of interlacing bands of rich red and blue with a foliated pattern to subdue the light. The windows originally were to be of clear glass. However, minutes of the building committee (May 13, 1926) indicate that a member of the church, upon learning of this, offered to donate additional funds if the windows were embellished.
