Description
This image is an original photo of the side arched entry of Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in East Aurora, NY. An Orton effect was used on the image to achieve this vintage look.
The congregation was first established in 1822, moved to its current location in 1878 and revised and rebuilt the church in 1928. Baker Memorial is one of the loveliest Gothic style churches anywhere and besides the natural grace of its lines and arches, the church boasts some of the most gorgeous stained glass windows anywhere. Baker's sanctuary is known for its 17 Tiffany windows, six of which are signed.

TIFFANY WINDOWS
"The church has been greatly enhanced by a series of beautiful windows, especially designed by and executed under the supervision of Louis C. Tiffany in his studios in New York City.
Mr. Tiffany is foremost in the American School of art glass and has endeavored, at all times, to preserve the best of the old Thirteenth Century type of work, while at the same time increasing the range of color and shading as well as the power of expression in glass making. The result has been the production of a glass which varies sufficiently in the process of making, to produce an increase in the color blendings which in turn give the designer a range that is boundless.
The glass in these windows is not only opalescent, deriving its play of colors by transmitted light, but it is iridescent with a permanent metallic luster, emitting rainbow effects by light reflected from the surfaces. The result is that the windows stand out like a painting, and also look substantially the same in reflected artificial light as in transmitted sunlight.
These windows are equal in quality and artistry to the finest examples found anywhere in America."
