Participants in New Dollars/New Partners training program at the New Old South Church in Boston "It reads like a good mystery.."

The story of Lafayette College’s "Alcuin and Charlemagne” Tiffany window reads like a good mystery, replete with its alleged destruction in a fire, its discovery on campus in storage, and concluding with pains- taking restoration to its original splendor.

The window was made in 1898 by the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company and restored in 2002 by the Willet Stained Glass Studios, Philadelphia PA, a division of Hauser Art Glass Co., Inc. The restored window will be the focal point of the new college library.

Whether your need is for design and fabrication of new windows or restoration of existing windows, Willet provides unparalleled experience in all styles.

We can start by saving sacred places of great cultural significance, and those with strong leadership committed to practicing good stewardship, and with a vision for using historic buildings and other congregational assets to benefit the larger community. In many neighborhoods, the stakes are high and the impact of losing sacred places greatly underestimated. How do we help potential supporters see both the returns from wise investment in sacred places, as well as the consequences of inaction? Right now, we have more questions than answers. How can we shape a long-term strategy for capital investment in sacred places? Will a national pool of capital funds appeal to donors or is a series of local or regional approaches likely to be more persuasive to potential supporters? Partners is already hard at work equipping congregations with new capacity to tell their stories of heritage and community service through our New Dollars/New Partners Training Program. At the same time, if we can help public and private sector leaders recognize and support the value of sacred places, then the telling of these stories will find a ready and welcoming audience.

The Trust, in turn, consulted with its pro bono counsel — the Washington, DC office of Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering — and the firm agreed to take on this project. The resulting legal analysis persuasively argued that preservation grants to preserve historic religious properties are fully consistent with the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and with the National Historic Preservation Act section that specifies historic preservation assistance to religious properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
