The Bourne Memorial Window at Faith Chapel
"David's Window" by Louis Comfort Tiffany |
Faith Chapel is a historic chapel on Jekyll Island, Georgia. Built in 1904, it was used as a non-denominational chapel until 1942.
Frederick Gilbert Bourne, President of Singer Sewing Machine Company and Jekyll Island Club, died on March 19, 1919. Following Bourne’s passing, a Tiffany stained glass window was commissioned for Faith Chapel to replace the existing west-facing window. On March 25, 1921, the Bourne Memorial Window by Tiffany was installed at Faith Chapel. The following day, an announcement was published in the New York Times.
