Description:
St. Margaret's Episcopal Church opened in 1915 and served as a 'summer chapel' until 1930. Named for Margaret of Antioch, scenes from her life are depicted in the stained glass window facing the organ. The two small windows nearby show Margaret's coat of arms (left) and the victor's crown, palm leaves, and cross of Faith (right). The chancel windows depict the Crucifixion (left), the Resurrection (right), and Christ 'crowned and triumphant' (center). The side panels show the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. Most of the stained glass windows were installed between 1922 and 1928 after the church was built. All of the windows listed were made in the studios of James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars) Ltd. of London. The same company produced the windows for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYC, and many English churches, cathedrals and colleges. |
