Portland's David Schllicker, a stained glass window expert, discussed the revolutionary studio, which produced opalescent glass for churches and wealthy homes throughout the West Coast, including Astoria. For generations the Povey family created artistic glass windows in England. David Povey studied at the Cooper Union Institute of Art in New York and traveled throughout Europe before opening a studio in Portland. He partnered with his brother George, operating a Portland studio from 1888 to 1929. Their work appears in Craigdarroch Castle, Victoria BC; the Pittock Mansion, Portland; the Deepwood Estate, Salem; and the First Presbyterian Church, Astoria. According to Schlicker, the brothers' craftsmanship enabled them to create a level of artwork previously unknown. He discussed the unusual color combinations and common themes, such as dogwood and fish design elements."<br /></div>
