| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the McKee Memorial Window so possibly someone in Mrs. Homes' maiden family was the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company, or possibly just her maiden name was recorded for some reason [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
| Comment: |
Reports at the time suggested that this window was the one exhibited at the Chicago 1893 Exposition, but it is instead a related design of that window (ITEM:11.7.1.42) [ISR1894A, ISR1894B, TIFF1893, DEDUCED] |
