David and Helen Maitland Armstrong Census

Cambridge 2000 home page

This is a project to create a census of David and Helen Maitland Armstrong "stained glass" windows, mosaics and other glass-related items, which are located in what could be considered to be publicly viewable buildings, mainly churches. This includes sites that no longer have any items. The information is available in various ways:

• Sites sorted by region / city
• Items sorted by date
• Sites shown on a map
• Sites sorted by rating (3 stars, etc.)
• Photographs of items
• Items sorted by category ("Angel of Resurrection", etc.)
• Mosaic items ("scenic" and "architectural")
• Miscellaneous information (glossary, etc.)

David Maitland Armstrong (1836-1918) was a diplomat and artist. He worked for Louis Comfort Tiffany in the early 1880s before setting out on his own in the mid 1880s. He was joined by his daughter, Helen Maitland Armstrong (1869-1948) in around 1890, and she was responsible for most of the distinctive figural designs in their windows. She continued the business after he died.

The main sources for the compilation are the 1999 book, "D. Maitland Armstrong: American Stained Glass Master" by Robert O. Jones, and newspaper articles, in particular http://fultonhistory.com/ for New York state.

Current count: number of sites = 88, number of items = 193, number of item photos = 115.
