The restoration of our stained glass dome has been completed and it has been installed! Below is the description of the panels being installed and the work completed to see all of the restored dome photo visit the construction photos page.
2444- panel in place with bars attached
2448- wires are tied to the bar and then tightened to a support bar above. This it not necessary, but added as an extra support since the bars were being installed for the protective plastic to lay on
3482- almost all the panels are in, seen in natural light
3514- most panels in with artificial light
3545,3548- all panels in with natural light
3540- protective plastic is installed. Openings are left to allow for ventilation, an important factor for stained glass to prevent deterioration- especially since the area is to be artificially lit which causes heat to build up.
