Belfry Glass
The Belfry Theatre is in an old church, which is hardly surprising given its name, and how batty playwrights can be.
This is one of the windows, blocked off on the inside, but still nice on the outside when the morning light hits it.
Pentax Espio 120SW, Agfa Vista Plus 200, commercially processed and scanned.
A beautifully patterned window – what a shame you can’t see the light from the inside

Hi Andy – it is a shame, but at least the building continues a useful life. It has been a theatre for decades now and that transformation came about in an age where heritage buildings were being torn down and replaced at a furious pace.

Interesting design…more complex then most of the non scenic ones I have viewed.

Hi Sherry – it is a pleasing geometry and quite a lot going on with the colour selections. Someone clearly (no pun intended) put a lot of thought into it.

A beautiful geometric bedazzle!

Thanks Kate. I think it is very representative of a particular time period, and certain budget limitations.

Yes, it is a shame the windows are not being seen in their full glory. At least they were not removed or destroy for the repurposing!

That is true, and they are not rendered invisible from the outside by filthy and now translucent plexiglass like some of the nicest stained glass downtown.

Why do we treat our architectural legacy so shoddily? Happens here a lot too. Europe treats theirs with reverence. We are philistines in the ‘new world’.

Now there is a question. Things seem to be built to be knocked down. A transient mindset of a transient population barely settled on the land.

Hmm yes. That is interesting. Maybe neither of our cultures has matured enough to have a connection to place yet.

Thank you asthaguptaa – it is a shame it is blocked off from the inside but at least the light can pass through and reflect back out to people on the street.
