angelThis was a gift from the Drummond family. Featuring a beautiful angel, this window was pronounced by its contemporary critics as wonderfully artistic in design and creation. The window is constructed in a style made famous by the Tiffany studio in New York , incorporating art nouveau influences popular at the turn of the century. The opalescent glass in shades of brown and ochre compliment the tones of the wood walls and accents throughout the chapel.

The window was designed by a well respected local artist, Christia M. Reade of Lombard. A talented artist in several media, Reade was known for carrying her stained glass work through from design to installation. After studying in Europe, she returned to Chicago to open a studio where she produced exquisite jewelry, watercolors and stained glass. With an eye for detail and color, the beautiful Drummond window is considered one of the better known windows that she produced. This window was placed around 1900.
