[MassHistPres] Princeton Public Library Stained Glass

[Joyce Anderson]

The Princeton Public Library (The Goodnow Memorial Building) is undergoing a stained glass restoration project. The building was built by Stephen Earle in 1884 and has two distinct styles of stained glass. One is a spider web design and the other is a floral pattern. The principals involved in the restoration project are interested in learning who the artist(s) might have been who were involved in the creation of these stained glass windows. We would appreciate any help you can give us in researching and identifying them. Stephen Earle was a well-known Worcester architect but so far we have been unable to find any documentation as to whom he hired to make his stained glass except for one church in Worcester (St. Matthew's Episcopal) where he installed Tiffany windows. I am happy to provide photographs if they might be helpful to you.
Thank you for your help.
