Window in Del Norte Place


This is a stained glass window I saw on the side of a house one day while I was walking through Del Norte Place, one of Phoenix's historic districts.  Del Norte was established by Dr. James C. Norton, the territorial veterinarian of Arizona who later sold his home and half his property to the City of Phoenix while developing his remaining property into what is now one of our historic districts.  For a picture of Dr. Norton's home, built in 1912 and which still stands today, see Kathy Goes A Ramblin'.

For other blues of every genre, visit Rebecca's Midweek Blues.

Very lovely!
I'm imagining what wonderful color must be reflected on the inside walls. It must be beautiful.
