| TEXT | The manufacture of stained glass has taken one of the most advanced positions among the art industries of the country, and Newark stands prominent in this line under the enterprise of Mr. S. P. Belcher. The business was founded in 1852 by Mr. Charles Belcher, who supplied the glass for the World's Fair Buildings at New York in 1854. The present proprietor, succeeding to the business in 1866, now occupies a three-story brick building, 100x60 feet in extent, with a rear extension 40x60 feet, and gives employment to twenty artists and artisans in all the departments. In addition to a flattering local reputation, the house enjoys a business that extends throughout the West and South, owing largely to the exclusive employment of the best artistic skill obtainable, either in England or America, and the consequent production of a class of work of high artistic merit. Among the late productions of the establishment of note are the memorial window to the late Rev. Dr. Fish, in the First Baptist Church, of this city - a work of rare merit in design and execution and in exquisite coloring; the two finest of the memorial windows in the Channing Memorial Church, at Newport, R. I., and the chancel windows in Christ Church, Louisville, Ky.; these, with others, and a large production of choice work for residences, command the recognition the house receives. The main office is at No. 40 Bible House, New York city. |
