| Stained Glass Bus Tour Troy, NY |
The Bus Tour included 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. |
