Restoration of Medieval Leaded Glass Windows
The Conrad-Caldwell House Museum is seeking donations to this year's capital campaign project to fully restore these incredible windows!
An interesting combination of double hung
and pocket style, these windows date back to the early 1900s and reflect the grandeur and wealth of the
Caldwell Family who resided in the home. Beyond grandeur and wealth, the windows, and the room in
which they were placed showcase the growing Tudor Revival Movement, which occurred nationally,
eventually peaking in the 1920s.
​
The seven windows are in varying stages of deterioration primarily caused by the ongoing onslaught of weather and lack of proper maintenance in the past. The main steps of repair include first removing all seven windows to assess the amount of damage incurred to the deteriorating wooden frames, then determining how much of the original structure can be preserved and replacing what cannot be salvaged. All leaded and painted glass panels will be removed and restored separately while the frames are being repaired. Once the work is completed the panes will be returned to their frames, which will have been treated with wood preservative, and reinstalled and tested to ensure optimal performance regarding opening, closing, and locking.
