Restorations and Repairs

Gordan Henderson Window of King Henry VIII

 

Desgined by F. William Baker, ARAA

 

as originally installed in back door

After 30 years of Gordon Henderson's dog jumping on the back door several pieces of glasses were broken, 140 solder joints were damaged, the window was coming apart, and it was in danger of being lost. Broken glass, replaced, solder joints repaired, exterior lead came replaced, and window re-puttied. With the new frame and no dogs the window will outlast all of us.

Finished Repair in new custom frame

now in private collection

Custom Frame added

8 panels of this window were broken after a painter's ladder accidently smashed them. Panels removed, old vintage glass used to replace, and lead came aged to match other windows in proximity.
