Stained glass in City Hall, Holyoke, MA........restoration will be coming soon.

I would like to see documentation as to the maker/designer and the date....if 1856 is correct, then they probably came from Europe....or ????

Hello,

They are 1876, not 1856, and the following article (I got the link from a post last November on the forum) says the windows are by "Samuel West of the Ecclesiastical Stained Glass Works in Boston":

FYI - Julie Sloan's comments about the windows, and the video with photos of the various windows....Samuel West was the studio/artist.
