A newly restored Tiffany stained glass window is being re-installed inside Chicago's historic Second Presbyterian Church in the South Loop neighborhood.
Workers spent the last year cleaning 100 years of dirt and grime off the 16-foot "peace window."
It has been restored to its original design by Louis Comfort Tiffany. A wealthy church member commissioned Tiffany to design the window around the turn of the 20th Century.
"After this restoration, it has new colors we hadn't seen before and will sparkle like it did in 1903," said Linda Miller, of Friends of Historic Second Church.
The famous window, which measures 16 feet high and 8 feet wide, is one of nine original Tiffany stained glass windows in the church.
