Bibliography/Comments:
Philadelphia Inquirer, December 2, 1875 notes all windows filled with stained glass. However, This window should be examined closely as it does not appear to be by the same studio as other windows. The most striking difference is the lack of diapered ground; the ground in this window is made of asymetrical pieces of blue and white glass. (J. Farnsworth). Note: window condition not examined at close range.
