Update: L. C. Tiffany art glass in St. Louis

As described by the St. Louis Union Station website, "A most impressive feature of the Grand Hall is the "Allegorical Window," a hand-made stained glass window with hand-cut Tiffany glass strategically positioned above the Station's main entryway. The window features three women representing the main U.S. train stations during the 1890s -- New York, St. Louis and San Francisco." There are thirteen Tiffany Company windows in the collection of the Second Presbyterian Church in the Central West End. The windows of Second Church show a number of features typical of the Tiffany style: The inclusion of nature, especially plants and water, the use of layers of glass to achieve dimensional effects and the use of "drapery glass" to add texture to the robes in the scenes. Drapery glass is made in the glassmaster's studio by working molten glass with tongs to create a thick and thin texture, the resulting glass looking like natural folds of fabric. More information about the history and the architecture of Second Church is at the church's website. Finally the dramatic red and blue rose windows of the magnificent Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis are the work of the Tiffany Company. They can be seen along with beautiful images of mosaics and sculptures by taking an online tour at Cathedral's excellent wbsite.
