Please give us at least a week notice so that a volunteer docent can be scheduled. We are not accepting walk-in guests at this time. The suggested donation for window tours is $5.00 per person for small groups of two or three.  For larger groups, we can arrange discounted rates.  Fully vaccinated visitors are not required to wear a mask.

ABOUT THE WINDOWS

We are fortunate to have six windows that are original Tiffany windows, made by the Tiffany Company, plus six windows made of Tiffany glass. Tiffany used unusual construction techniques and effects that produced stunning results. These included: cutting the glass first, then cutting the leading; use of strong colors; layering colored glass over another colored glass; application of color in streaks or dry-brushing the color on the surface; pulling and pushing glass while it cools to produce a Drapery Glass. These techniques and effects are well represented in the wonderful windows, treasured at First Presbyterian Church.
