Masonic Retirement Center, Arlington, Texas
The long curving "Dallas style" driveway and extended horizontal lines
of the Masonic home for aged Masons, called to mind of the significant history
of this organization. Masonic Orders revolutionized feudal Europe with their
spiritual and philosophical teachings which advanced the freeing of the serfs
and led to the beginning of democratic government, culminating in a substantial
contribution to the founding principles of the United States of America.
George Washington was the commander of his Masonic lodge and most of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence were Freemasons. Our great nation was
founded upon many principles of Freemasonry.
We were delighted to receive the contract to design and build the stained glass
windows for the Masonic home’s chapel. We worked closely with the Masons
working out the computer aided designs for the renderings, communicating back
and forth both graphically and verbally to get the designs and coloring of
their symbolism exactly right for their chapel stained glass windows.

| Figurative, abstract, traditional, minimal, modern, ornate, bright
contrasting colors, or with subtle shades. Whether housed in a great cathedral
or a humble country church, stained glass at its best should reflect the soul
of the congregation, the spirit of God manifest on Earth. - R. B. |
