Victorian stained glass by Charles Booth, Jefferson Market Library (1874-77), Greenwich Village, NYC

"The Jefferson Market Branch, New York Public Library, once known as the Jefferson Market Courthouse...was originally built as the Third Judicial District Courthouse from 1874 to 1877, and was designed by architect Frederick Clarke Withers of the firm of Vaux and Withers.
Faced with demolition in 1958, public outcry led to its reuse as a branch of the New York Public Library. The building is now part of the New York City Landmark Preservation Commission's Greenwich Village Historic District, created in 1969. The AIA Guide to New York City calls the building "A mock Neuschwansteinian assemblage ... of leaded glass, steeply sloping roofs, gables, pinnacles, Venetian Gothic embellishments, and an intricate tower and clock; one of the City's most remarkable buildings.'" --https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferson_Market_Library.

The stained glass used throught the building is by the English glass artist, Charles Booth (1844-1893), who also created the stained glass for nearby Grace Church (at Broadway and 10th Street). These windows are in the clock tower and are viewed from a spiral staircase.
