Greater Union Baptist Church, Warren Blvd. and Damen Ave., Chicago. 1886, William LeBaron Jenney, architect
St Nicholas's church at Loxley clearly dates back to pre-Norman times, with herringbone masonry surviving on the north side of the chancel, though the building we see today is the result of later rebuildings in the late 13th century and again in the 18th century; which left a mostly Georgian church with a medieval tower.
The exterior is most attractive and it's chequered history is readily apparent, particularly the south vestry wall which is largely composed of reused 17 th century gravestones.
The interior is very light thanks to the characteristically Georgian plastered walls and plain glazing (a recent window of St Nicholas in the south chancel wall is the only stained glass). The most obviously ancient areas are the north wall of the chancel and the plain chancel arch which is presumably Norman. There is also a 12th century pillar stoup to the right of the altar. A contemporary touch is added by the lectern which has an embroidered design by Anthony Green.
The nave is entirely 18th century except for the 13th century arch leading into the base of the tower. A c1250 coffin lid with foliated cross design is displayed here.
The church is generally kept open for visitors though I nearly gave up after my first attempt having found the west door rather stiff!

Modern south transept window at the Basilica of St Remi in Reims, the work of local stained glass master Charles Marq (best known as Chagall's collaborater who translated his designs into stained glass in the cathedral and elsewhere).
of the recently renovated, baroque Hiemer-Font-Caraffa House, built in the 17th century on medieval walls. Reflection of the baroque door of St Imre church in the window.

The front entrance of the church of the Immaculate Conception on Farm Street is modelled on the facade of Beauvais Cathedral.
A Flickr friend, Loveallmydolls, asked me about my dollhouse windows so I am posting a few pics.
I used balsa strip wood to make these windows. I attached them together with wood glue, primed them, and painted them with white latex house paint.
This window is 11 pieces of stripwood. This is set into a hole that was cut into the diorama wall. In reality, holes are not needed and a faux window would work just as well.
The image is from Country magazine. They have a lot of pretty seasonal landscape photos. I put a piece of thin plastic (lamination plastic) over the photo so it would look more like glass.
Pre-made playscale windows are very expensive (when you need a lot of them) -- about $10 plus shipping. I made 4 windows for about $5.
I made this window the same size as the pre-made playscale windows I saw online (8"x4").
This is St Johns Cathedral again.
The circular window over the front door.
The desired end result was enhanced texture in the cathedral, while leaving the new building and sky as original, as it would look horrible with enhanced contrast (texture).
When the shot was taken, the sky was blown out totally white.
Step 1 - add a gradient layer and applied a blue sky by:
a/ use the magic wand to select the white sky
b/ select the gradient tool and select a suitable gradient which would provide an appropriate blue and natural look to the blue fade.
Step 2 - copy the new shot with blue sky to a new image and dulpicate the new image background layer to a new layer.
Step 3 - back on the 1st image,
a/ use Nik to increase the contrast and tone slightly to a level that highlighted the texture without looking ridiculous.
b/ drag the 2nd image (non contrast) background layer copy into the 1st image as a new layer, and make sure it is on top.
c/ at this point, the soft image being on top will block out the lower contrasty image
d/ use the eraser tool and a soft edge brush, remove the soft top layer pixels only above the cathedral stones
The end result is half the top soft layer of sky and new building, and half the bottom layer visible where the cathedral is.
Holy Theme
This window was right by the head of my bed. I was able to sleep with it open. In Pennsylvania, in March! Such crazy weather this year.
