Preserve the Birth of a Movement
Nestled in the heart of Allentown is a testament to the birth of the opalescent glass movement, America's distinctive contribution to the centuries-old art of stained glass making. Trinity's collection of windows, including 13 by John LaFarge (1835-1910) and 5 by Louis C. Tiffany (1848-1933), tells the story of the competing artistic visions and innovations in stained glass like no other ensemble of American windows can.
Completed in the 1880s, they are crying out for the care they need to continue inspiring the Buffalo community and art lovers worldwide.
Three of the 21 windows desperately need urgent repairs. For more than a century, Buffalo winters have caused their once-sturdy structure to become compromised. Action is necessary, and there's no time to wait because the remaining 18 require care and attention as well.
Your donation in the effort to preserve the windows in this local treasure will allow one of America's most important architectural sites to continue to inspire. No matter its size, your gift will significantly impact the preservation of Trinity's windows. Contribute to a piece of living art and history, and preserve its legacy today.
