In the Beginning
Yesterday, I traveled to Peryopolis, Pennsylvania looking at three Tiffany windows in a staircase landing. The 1913 English Tudor mansion is called Linden Hall and was built by the Cochran family who had money in the coal industry in Pittsburgh. I walked around the house and the grounds, taking pictures for a new window that would replace the Tiffanys. It is sad to see buildings like this in a state of disassembly for parts. I mean, the majority of the house is original, but like so many other historic sites in the US is changing. The mansion is now owned by the United Steelworkers of America. They are my clients on the designing of new replacement windows. I want to stay with the same theme that Tiffany used of these Linden Trees that were planted all over the grounds, brought in from Germany by Mrs. Cochran.
