Restoration of Tudor Revival Lozenge Glass Windows

Join us in preserving our historic house museum's legacy!

Your support is needed to restore four magnificent Tudor Revival Lozenge style windows in Grace Caldwell's Bedroom, nestled on the third floor of our iconic Richardsonian Romanesque mansion. These windows, installed by the Caldwell Family in 1906, showcase the finest Gothic and Tudor revival architecture of their time. Help us safeguard this unique piece of history and continue our commitment to preserving the innovative spirit of the decorative arts movement.

The four windows are in varying stages of deterioration primarily caused by the ongoing onslaught of weather and lack of proper maintenance in the past. The main steps of repair include first removing all four windows to assess the amount of damage incurred to the deteriorating wooden frames, then determining how much of the original structure can be preserved and replacing what cannot be salvaged. All leaded glass panels will be removed and restored separately while the frames are being repaired. Once the work is completed the panes will be returned to their frames, which will have been treated with wood preservative, and reinstalled and tested to ensure optimal performance regarding opening, closing, and locking.
