The church is absolutely bare, but well colored as to the walls...." Goriansky states that 100 years later, he lived upstairs from where the window's creator, Sarah Wyman Whitman, had lived from 1880-1904 (#77 Mt. Vernon Street, Boston), and that she was very fine designer and maker of "stained" glass windows. |
