Westminster Memorial Studios Census

Cambridge 2000 home page

This is a project to create a census of Westminster Memorial Studios "stained glass" windows, mosaics and other glass-related items, which are located in what could be considered to be publicly viewable buildings, mainly churches. This includes sites that no longer have any items. The information is available in various ways:

• Sites sorted by region / city
• Items sorted by date
• Sites shown on a map
• Sites sorted by rating (3 stars, etc.)
• Photographs of items
• Items sorted by category ("Angel of Resurrection", etc.)
• Photographs of signatures
• Mosaic items ("scenic" and "architectural")
• Miscellaneous information (glossary, etc.)

Westminster Memorial Studios was founded in late 1937 out of the ashes of Tiffany Studios. The most important employee was Agnes Northrop (1857-1953), and others included Charles Nussbaum (1882-1946) and later Oscar Julius (1882-1965). The firm lasted in the stained glass business until around the mid 1950s.

The main sources for the compilation are signatures of the firm on windows, although there are also some newspaper and journal articles.

Current count: number of sites = 11, number of items = 28, number of item photos = 19, number of signature photos = 18.
