Local Artist Creates Stain Glass Window for Schoolhouse Entrance

The front doors of the Schoolhouse have a new artistic glow. Local stain glass artist and Schoolhouse Trustee, Gary Cole, created and installed a large stain glass window above the double entry doors. It is composed of representative artistic icons: books, ABC building blocks and an artist palette with our street address ’323’ to depict the mission of the School House Foundation— Arts & Education.

Gary’s involvement in the Schoolhouse has historic family lineage. John J. Baesel, Gary’s great-uncle and Berea’s 1st Mayor built the District 7 Schoolhouse, completed in 1913. The beautiful window is just the crown finale of the doorway his great-uncle crafted over 100 years ago! It appears that community service continues to run in the family here.
​
​We thank Gary Cole for his generous and profound donation and for his continued support as Restoration Chairman at the Schoolhouse and hope the window’s glow continues to shine as a reminder of our mission for another century or so.
