The windows were designed by Robert Harmon and made at the Frei studios of St. Louis in 1939. All the windows are tall and narrow with a stylized image of Christ at the top leading down to different symbols for that particular window. The colors throughout feature this nearly monochromatic shift from white to lavender to variations of middle blue. A very difficult range of colors to make work with - and here it works very well.

A 1939 church, located on the southwest side of the city, that was 20 years ahead of its time; it was completed on an astonishingly small budget of $75,000. The serene, spare interior features stunning Art Deco stained glass windows, whose purple and blue hues are not adequately captured by my meager camera.
