East Transept The "New Jerusalem" window in the gallery is one of Tiffany Studios' finest. Designed by Frederick Wilson and installed in 1916, it is one of the most popular windows in the Sanctuary. There is a great deal of layered glass - sometimes 6 layers - to produce the desired color effect. He also used jewel glass - large chunks of glass - to achieve a very heavy effect for the base of the lancets. The changing daylight has an interesting effect on this window. With the morning sun, it is brilliant and clear. But in the afternoon, the city almost vanishes into the clouds with nothing left but the trees and the cross at the top.
