Church stained glass window

My husband was raised in the church that this window came out of.  When they built their present location they removed and sold the stained glass windows from the original downtown church.  My in-laws purchased two.  My husband's brother has one and my husband brought ours home last week.   It is quite large.  For now it is here and I think it goes pretty well here.  Even picks up colors from the curtain that I already had.

It is a simple craftsman style to me.  I wish I could find a picture of the windows in the actual church.  I know it is close to a hundred years old.  Calvary Baptist in Alexandria, LA.  

Nickie has had it for years and had a light behind it on her fireplace hearth.  She used it as a night light. I am holding it in place with floral gum.  Two pieces at the top behind the wood and two pieces on each bottom corner.  It will not budge and Texas doesn't have big earthquakes, so I guess we are OK.

Love this picture with all the lights off and just natural light shining through.  Shows off the real color and beauty.  Sigh.

Here is window area above our master spa tub before.

Love the after.  Almost like it was custom made for this spot.

Edited ~ Nickie told me that the church was built in 1925.   So this window is 87 years old.  She said when they purchased them, they were not framed out and they had to have that done.  Actually, they only purchased one and years later a friend gave them one of theirs.   Lucky us, each son is able to have one.  She also says next time I see her, (next weekend) she has a picture of the window hanging in the church.   I can't wait to see that.
