We drove downtown to the First Presbyterian Church to view their Tiffany "Windows of Comfort". They were installed in 1911 by Louis Tiffany. Favrile glass was the invention of Louis Tiffany. It is a glass made without paint, enamels or stains. Colors were produced by additives such as cobalt, gold and copper.
We then drove over to the Old Prairie Town at the Ward-Meade Historic Site. Anthony Ward bought 200 acres from Indians in 1854. The original cabin, built by Ward, along with their larger home still sit on the property. The Old Prairie Town has several historic buildings that have been moved onto the Ward-Meade property. There is also a botanical garden on the property.
The final picture is of Grandpa & Grandma McCaffrey's old home on Buchanan Street. They owned the home from the late 1920s until it was sold in the mid 1990s.
