[MassHistPres] Historic Windows

[Tucker, Jonathan]

Dear Mr. Orwig:

In 2014, Amherst Town Meeting appropriated CPA funds for restoration of "The Angel of the Lilies," a large Tiffany window in the front façade of our local Unitarian meetinghouse.  The meetinghouse had a couple of John La Farge stained glass windows, as well.

Prior to seeking local CPA funding or having any restoration work done, the Unitarian Society sought professional help.  They obtained the services of Julie L. Sloan, a stained glass consultant located in North Adams, to evaluate the windows and address their restoration needs.  Her work was very professional and complete.

Her website can be found here:

I hope that's useful.
