This stained-glass window dates to the 1857 renovation of Saint Mary Church in Alexandria. It is described in an Alexandria Gazette article published on July 16, 1857: “The side windows are of enamelled [sic] glass, brown and white, with colored borders, blue green, red, or purple, and have bright wreaths of fruit and flowers in the top of the arch. They were manufactured by Gibson, Philadelphia.” Examples of the “bright wreaths of fruit and flowers in the top of the arch” can still be viewed in both the north and south transept windows in the Basilica of Saint Mary.
