Wayne Boucher has been working on a project to document Tiffany windows including those in New Rochelle. Boucher has identified 10 Tiffany windows in churches in New Rochelle, 6 of which remain today.
“In the end I managed to determine most of the facts about the windows,” said Boucher. “Except that I don’t know what happened to the beautiful War Memorial window in St. John’s M.E. Church.”
