Note: Horizontal
shadow line in the angel's hair & dove is from the deteriorating Plexiglas
storm window frame.Stained Glass window preservation experts
believe this type of energy conservation method common in the 1970's actually
causes damage.Trapping the sun's heat in summer (think
of your car in July), it makes the glass sealing putty dry up & fall
out.The clouded, yellowing Plexiglas also
makes it impossible to see the windows clearly at night from the outside
as you could until the 1970's.OLMC is currently consulting with preservation
experts to find the best solution to keep the windows safe from the elements
& vandalism
