    Restoration Status

    • Returned June, 2010

    The date and maker of these windows are unknown. It is assumed that they are original. According to Susan E. Meehan's history of Pine Street, A Birthplace and Nursery for Multitudes of Souls:

    A contemporary account of the church states,"the windows are light stained glass, which gives a very pleasant and cheerful effect."

    These are the only surviving examples of those pleasant, cheerful windows.
