for Church Tour departs hotel.
The Tour includes three historic churches of Troy. St. Paul’s Church was built in 1827. In the 1890’s, the Church underwent major structural changes and also engaged the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company to redesign the interior. There are windows and mosaics by J.A. Holzer. The East window is one of his masterpieces. Other windows, by Cox and Sons of London, the Lamb Studio of New Jersey, and a Boston firm, relate harmoniously to those of Tiffany's.
St. John’s Episcopal Church was built in 1855. The elegant interior is highlighted by a number of great windows, including windows by Tiffany, Holzer, Lamb, Westlake & Barraud, Cox Sons Buckley & Co. and other unknown artists. There are also beautiful mosaic floors by Holzer.
St Joseph RC Church. This large Catholic Church is filled with windows and lamps from the Tiffany Studios of New York.
12:05 Lunch provided by AGG to attendees staying for the afternoon tour.
1:15 Arrive at Oakwood Cemetery: Restoration Program
Oakwood Cemetery, founded in 1848 and in continued use since 1850, is significant in landscape architecture as one of New York State's most distinguished and well-preserved 19th century rural cemeteries. Our final stop is the Gardner Earl Memorial Chapel at Oakwood, designed by prominent Albany architects Fuller and Wheeler. It is a striking building in the Richardsonian Romanesque style with windows by Tiffany and Maitland Armstrong. There will be ample time to study the windows. The Restoration Program will comprise short talks by the panelists followed with an open question and discussion session.
