The Windows At Grace

Grace Church's magnificent stained glass windows have deep artistic, historic, personal, and spiritual significance. During daylight hours, nearly a century's worth of art (1846-1929) is dramatically displayed in more than 15 windows. Each window is a unique memorial, with its own story to tell. Viewed collectively, the windows form a lasting legacy of the people who were an integral part of Grace Church's earliest years.

The narthex, or entrance hall of Grace Church features a pair of brilliant, deep-set windows memorializing Richard William Whipple and Ashbel Tingley Wall. Both windows were dedicated in 1949. Whipple (1925-1945) was a chorister at Grace, and the choir's symbol can be seen above the dedication. For ten years, Wall was a vestryman at Grace, and members of his family have continued his tradition of service to the Church. The Grace Church seal is included in this window. At the Mathewson Street vestibule is a window featuring St. Augustine. It was given by Flora Henius in 1950, in memory of her brother Arthur, who was known to be an admirer of the great saint.

Through the arch, the nave windows continue the documentation of Grace Church's history and the faith of its parishioners.
