At 3 p.m., the church at 600 Cleveland Avenue will welcome visitors for a lecture and tour by an expert on the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany, in conjunction with an exhibit at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York (click here for information on the exhibit).
Patricia C. Pongracz, the museum’s acting director and director of curatorial affairs, will give the lecture today. The church is at the corner of Cleveland Avenue and East Seventh Street.
I can personally attest to the remarkable beauty of these windows, which are made with the opalescent glass developed by Tiffany. It lends an ethereal quality to the depictions of Biblical figures. These windows are part of Plainfield's historic and cultural legacy. Go see them today.
