    New Portfolio Piece: Sam Houston State University Staine Glass Replica

New Portfolio Piece: Sam Houston State University Staine Glass Replica

We are a proud member of the Scottish Stained Glass family of companies here at Colorado Springs Stained Glass. This allows us to take part in many interesting and amazing historical stained glass restorations, repairs, and, in the case of Sam Houston State University, recreations. This project is just the latest example of how our job is to breathe new life into structures like churches, synagogues, historic homes, and universities around the country.
Replicating Sam Houston State’s Historic Stained Glass Windows
Founded in 1879, Sam Houston State University is one of the oldest schools in Texas. The original campus was dotted with lovely brick structures, some of which had stained glass in soaring arched windows. these windows were iconic to the school and something they were proud of. Sadly, much of the cherished stained glass was destroyed in a fire in 1982. Recently SHSU chose to have one of the original stained glass windows recreated to commemorate their school motto “The measure of a Life is its Service”. They happily entrusted us with the honor of preserving the legacy of their stained glass and their amazing organization.

The First Challenge of Restoring Sam Houston State University’s Lost Stained Glass
Since the window they chose was completely destroyed–there were some inherent challenges in this project. We had nothing physical to replicate so we turned to historical documentation–of which there was very little. This meant we would have to innovate and work with what we had– a single color photo from a 1962 yearbook.
Modern Technology for Restoring Stained Glass
We used modern technology to get the design dialed in. We scanned the yearbook picture into the computer then printed it out full-sized. We then carefully traced [...]

    To Repair or Remove: The Cost Benefits of Stained Glass Restoration

To Repair or Remove: The Cost Benefits of Stained Glass Restoration

Every stained glass window has a lot to offer.  Which is why stained glass windows tend to be very valuable. Whether it is because they are cherished by those who own them (in homes and churches) or because they are a valuable historical relic–stained glass windows have value.  However, as stained glass ages, it will need repairs–from filling in cracks to full restoration, this form of art requires maintenance. We often get questions about the cost-benefit of stained glass restoration versus just having it removed. As it happens, there are many cost benefits to restoring old stained glass from the monetary value of your glass to its value to your home, church or city.
 Weighing The Cost Of Replacing Vs. Restoring Stained Glass Windows
Deciding whether to restore, remove or replace a stained glass window is very much a personal decision.  But weighing the cost-benefit is an important part.

How Restoration Affects The Monetary Value of Your Stained Glass Window: Restoring an antique stained glass window, especially an expansive one, can add up.  However, once they are restored, they end up being 4x more valuable than a new stained glass window. So, although removing and replacing a stained glass window may seem less expensive– it will be decades before its value matches that of a restored stained glass window. 
How Stained Glass Removal Affects The Value of Your Property:  If you are thinking you want to remove a stained glass window in your church or home, you should consider how this will affect your property value. Keep in mind that your stained glass can appraise for upwards of $600 per square foot–depending on the size, style, condition and the studio that created it.
