Stained Glass Window Project >Sukkoth

These 7 windows were "found" in the basement of a building being renovated that once housed a Synagogue in the 1950's and -'60's in what is now- The Mayne Stage Theatre- on Morse near The El Tracks.

Interestingly enough- the person involved in that renovation had an interest in a small Reform Congregation on Chicago's Far North Side- Emanuel, located on Sheridan Road.

After my friend Sharon rehabilitated these windows

(which are alleged to have originally been from a previous Congregations Synagogue located in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood) and strengthened them from years of neglect-

I was asked to develop a frame and mounting system, whereby they could be placed within a Custom Built Wooden Window Fenestration- and held in place to be in the same plane as the Window Wall-

and align vertically.

I came up with these "lollipops"- fabricated from Rolled Rings of a special (unequal legs) sized Angle Iron-

and another ring of Cold-Rolled Square Bar- rolled to perfectly "mate" with the "INNER" diameter of that angle-

to sandwich- or gently "trap" these gorgeous windows and allow the sun to shine through them.
