Here's a rather large Belcher window in a church in Lebanon, Pa. taken in 2006. I believe there are 8 of these in the nave. I've seen a lot of Belchers here in NYC, but they are usually transoms and sidelites. This is the only Church I've ever seen that had Belcher windows of this size. I submitted a proposal for restoration, but I don't know if anything was ever done. I'll attach some more photos in separate replies since the BB doesn't seem to allow more than one at a time.

Thank you Gil, You answered a question I have been meaning to ask Michael Mezalick. I saw a window on his sight that totally WOWed me under Restoration. It looks like one of these Amazing windows!

That certainly appears to be one of the windows. I presume that means that they did the restoration of at least one, if not all of the windows. As to when they were made, I have no idea, but circa 1890 would be my guess.

Judy, You are correct , we did a "restoration" on one window. Another studio did a poor repair of two others.
With the help of Dan Maher we were able to come up with a solution that worked very well.
The windows were not originally slated for the church but were bought from another place after the church was built.
We have a Belcher window that we used to develope our process, but most of the credit goes to Dan.

Tom, Trinity church in Columbia SC has Belcher windows in the sancturay that have "regular" stained glass along with the special glass that Belcher has become somewhat famous for. You should also see the window in the S C State capitol.

This is from the archives of St. John's in Lebanon, PA.

It was on February 25, 1890 that the Building Committee of St. John's Reformed Church accepted a proposal from the Belcher Mosaic Glass Company to provide mosaic windows in the "Audience Room" (sanctuary)and leaded glass windows in the towers and in the front of the first story. Windows were completed and installed in May of 1890.
