Daily News | Local artisans restore Horn & Hardart windows as the Philly-born Automat chain savors a moment
in Chestnut Hill and an art dealer in Manhattan hired stained-glass designer Chandler Coleman to repair or restore two decorative D’Ascenzo windows rescued from the wrecking ball.
As a boy in Germantown, he spent time in the studio of Kenneth Crocker, a noted stained-glass designer who trained in England. “I wanted to see how it was done,” said Coleman, who repaired the Woodmere window and restored the one now at Goldberg’s. “But Chandler wanted to learn. He learned just by watching me,” said Crocker, adding that Coleman’s talents were evident early on and can be seen in his mature work at Cathedral Stained Glass.Ian Pappajohn, who along with his brother Matt has owned a woodworking business in Philly’s Frankford neighborhood since 1996, built new frames of white oak for both the Horn & Hardart windows.
He has vivid childhood memories of the Horn & Hardart on the southeast corner of Broad and Walnut and is pleased to have helped preserve objects that attest to the firm’s character.
