A project I helped supervise while at Franklin Art Glass in Columbus, Ohio. Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Church, Chillicothe, Ohio. A Polaroid before shot. http://quinnchapelchillicothe.com/
Quinn Chapel after. Note stained glass cleaned, support structure scraped, repaired (extensive repairs and leveling was required on the sill and lower vertical assemblies), and painted. I designed and installed a completely new protective glazing system for the windows.
Quinn Chapel before detail. Also a Polaroid. Note the acrylic "protective" glazing has done more damage than good. A poor installation and not vented properly.
You can see the vent covers in the top and bottom left and right corners. The holes in the glass were covered with screen and then flashing installed to cover them.

A residential window we designed, I fabricated and installed above a staircase landing. The clients moved a few years later to a larger home and wanted to take their window with them.
It was moved to a prominent location on the second floor of an open floorplan, overlooking the entryway just inside the froont door. The new window was quite a bit larger and extensive changes were necessary. After the designs were approved, I began the addition of new border and field glass, combining the two former panels. A design element was removed in the dress area by request of the client and reinforcing bar was added before it was installed "piggy-back" fashion on the interior side of the insulated glass.
A poor adaptation of four smaller panels in the side-entry doors at St. John Lutheran in London, Ohio. They built a new worship space nearby and I removed all of their windows, rejuvinated them, and installed them in the new location. http://www.stjohnslondon.org/
A nod was given to the former location by retaining the arrangement of the panels. I adapted them for a new pair of interior doors.

A Repair/Adaptation job for Upper Arlington Lutheran Church, Lytham Rd. campus, Upper Arlington, Ohio. Note the oxidization of the lead matrix and water staining on the lower glasses. The support structure was also extremely weak and deflected in and out with light pressure from the hand. http://www.ualc.org/main
Panels after I repaired, cleaned, and joined them all together. I retained the original design elements of the divisions between the panels. I did this using very large HF lead. The joined panels were then insulated between 1/4" tempered glass and installed in a new thermally broken frame manufactured by J. Sussman, Inc. of Jamaica, Queens, N.Y..
Note here the panel deflection and poor condition of the lead.
Note broken piece, upper left.
Note broken piece replaced, upper left. Appears to be a poor match from the outside but looks good with transmitted light. See interior before and after shots

A before shot of the window behind the altar. Note the second panel from the bottom's dark border. This actually served as a fire escape and pivoted on a center axis. This panel had to be "grown" to fit it's new home in the hallway of the St. Anthony room.
This is the after photo and shows the former altar window in it's new installation and orientation.
