Oak Grove stained glass restored and replaced
The Oak Grove School Foundation and the Friends of the River Meeting House are pleased to announce the return of two large stained glass windows. They were removed from the historic Oak Grove Chapel/River Meeting House, in Vassalboro, in March for repairs. The windows were installed around 1895, and over the years, gravity, old lead and the weight of the glass caused serious buckling and gaps between some of the glass pieces.
Vintage Glass Works of Gardiner brought both windows to their shop, replaced broken glass, built new frames, cleaned and reinstalled the approximately 130-year-old windows, preserving both their historical and their artistic value.
The Chapel will be open to the public during Vassalboro days if anyone would like to stop by and admire the craftsmanship of these beautiful windows.
