Perhaps the centerpiece of all the art work in this building is the West Window given by Mr. and Mrs. Seymour H. Knox, Jr. in memory of Mrs. Knox's mother, Sarah E. Northrup.
It was dedicated on Trinity Sunday, June 4, 1928. This Te Deum Window is based on the Book of Revelation, which John the Evangelist may have received on the Isle of Patmos. He is depicted in the central panel in an ultramarine gown near the bottom.
Central to this window is the "One upon the Throne" in the upper middle section.
