In 1960, The First Church of Christ in New Haven, CT was restored to its original early nineteenth-century architectural style.  They donated this large Tiffany landscape window to the Southern Connecticut State University, where it was installed in a large light box in the campus library, along with two other plated opalescent windows.  In 2008, the University began the renovation and large addition to their library with plans to build a glass wall where these beautiful windows could be installed and viewed in natural light. This landscape window titled  “The Water Brooks Window”, in memory of Ezekiel Hayes Trowbridge, measures 54” wide x 98” high, (not including the bottom memorial inscription panel which measures 11” in height), is a single panel fabricated entirely  with copper foil and no support bars, but with an intricate, thorough application of brass fins on the exterior.  In September of 2008, our studio was awarded the contract to repair and conserve all of the opalescent windows for the Buley Library. The University’s Project Manager and his team, were aware of the importance of these windows and their historic value. Their goal was to select a studio with sufficient understanding  and knowledge of minimally invasive procedures and a philosophy of intervention only where absolutely necessary.
