Member Klohn contacted Member Meiner with the email for Jacksonville Stained Glass (JSG) for further questions. Having done an exceptional job with the Mary Allen West window for the Church, the Commission had no objection to JSG’s Henry Hitchcock Windows bid due to the similar materials and conditions (venting, attaching, mortar – mason work) utilized in the frame restoration and storm glazing installation.
