Close-up view of the opalescent glass window. Note how straight it is and the condition of the lead and braces. The lead is old, but it is still doing a good job. Laws did not perform any repair work on the leaded glass windows.
Close-up showing the quality of the lead and steel braces. Note they are still in good shape and not in need of repair. However, there are two pieces of broken glass in the bottom right hand corner. They could be replaced, but it may detract aestethically from the window if they are not matched well.
