impressive late 19th century american victorian era interior leaded art glass window attributed to the mcculley & miles co., chicago, il. the uniquely designed stained glass window features flowing green leafage with berries (jeweled) against a rich amber colored cathedral glass background. the unusual lower panel contains randomly arranged faceted "uranium" glass jewels set within a grid formation comprised of ruby red glass. the c. 1886 window was salvaged from the extant david c. cook mansion, located in elgin, il. david c. cook, founder of a prominent religious publishing operation, built the high victorian queen anne chateauesque style mansion on the corner of gifford and division streets in 1885. in 1945 the grand residence was converted (i.e., modernized and expanded) into the mary margaret nursing home and later renamed the bowes retirement center. fortunately, interior elegant furnishings located on both the first and second floors were left intact from the time of mr. cook's occupancy. the fate of the house remains uncertain.
