Vintage Video
We’ve heard from a member of the Oppliger family, a son of one of the owners of Jacoby Art Glass, that owned the BAB from about 1945 until about 1975. He shared an AMAZING short video showing the glass studio and the workers making stained glass windows, from sketches thru construction to installation. We can identify the locations in the building in the videos- fascinating to see so many people working there. I was surprised how dark it is, but see how much easier it is to see the colored glass with limited light.
They’ve added the names of the artisans onto the video, which is a bonus. He let us know that they have updated their website and also reminded us that about the materials they donated to the local historical society– we need to make a visit!

Great film! Thanks for sharing that. I noticed a couple original light fixtures at about 7 minutes into the film. And it was neat to see people working in that “modern” decorated office in the NE corner upstairs!

Sue – That is amazing. So cool to have these historic pictures of your building! Did you select a contractor for the kitchen? – A2
