Stained Glass Victorian Style Window

These stained glass windows were made for Victorian home built for H.F.C. Furnard, a successful pharmacist, in the early 1900's. It is conveniently located in Sherman Heights, blocks from the Gaslamp Quarter and within a mile from Petco Park. This makes this Victorian guest house a prime location for San Diego tourists. Reservations can be made by visiting http://www.victoriangetaway.com/ The website features pictures of the home decorated with period furniture.

Chuck is the proud Innkeeper of this charming guest house. He contacted me in February specifying a custom Victorian style window for his front door. He had been welcomed by two hummingbirds in his backyard when he moved in and wanted to incorporate it in this window. We fabricated this window using a combination of copperfoil for the center oval medallion and lead.

This was a home in need of a lot of TLC and Chuck is doing just that. I am a lucky witness of his passion to restore this beautiful historic house.
