has him working “around the clock” and booked up to six months in advance, but in September, collector Bill Hylen, owner of Coming Up Roses Antiques in Adamstown, brought Lichty a Tiffany window to repair. “It’s just a thrill of a lifetime,” said Lichty, who kept the job a secret until the repair was complete. “There’s a really good chance that for the rest of my career, I’ll never come across another Tiffany window.” Lichty added that his friends who work in stainedglass both locally and around the country are in awe of his opportunity. “They’re just blown away,” said Lichty.
The window came from the All Angels’ Church in New York City and was designed by John B. Snook. The church was founded in 1890, and the Tiffany windows were a commission. The windows were still part of the church when it was sold to be demolished in 1979. The windows were auctioned to Gene Holloway, who had them installed in a Tampa, Fla., restaurant. In 2021, Hylen recognized the Cherub Roundels featured in the windows and purchased them.
Lichty explained that in stained glass, certification of authenticity is called provenance, which he noted could range from a bill of sale to a photograph of a relative with the piece of art 100 years ago. “Fortunately, the All Angels’ Church has extensive records on this Tiffany commission, so these are well-known windows,” said Lichty.
In his office, Lichty keeps a few examples of windows prior to repair. “You can see (this window is) filthy, and it’s buckled,” he said, explaining that the warping is caused by expansion and contraction from enduring changes in weather. He noted that the putty that seals the window falls out over time, and the window starts to come apart under its own weight. “Most people who own stained glass, even major churches, don’t do the scheduled renovations that are necessary,” he pointed out, adding that if repairs are done every so many years, the windows will retain their beauty and integrity for far longer.
According to Lichty, stained glass can often be authentically restored because glass is available from windows that are beyond repair or new glass can be purchased. “The miracle of stained glass is that there’s two companies making the same glass since the 1880s,” he said, noting that Paul Wissmach Glass Company in West Virginia and have both continued to make the glass they made for Tiffany and for La Farge, the other wellknown American stainedglass creator.
For Lichty, a Conestoga Valley High School graduate, working on the Tiffany means he has reached goals and moved beyond. “It was my dream to open up some sort of stained glass repair shop in my hometown,” he said. It appears that repairing a Tiffany has been icing on that cake.

Ann Rollman leads an employee training session at Penn State Health Lancaster Medical Center.
East Region for Penn State Health. The medical center is located near the intersection of State Road and Harrisburg Pike in East Hempfield Township.
The new hospital is an acute care facility, and it will offer both inpatient and outpatient care from its sixstory, 341,000-square-foot location that features 132 private patient beds. “Lancaster Medical Center will have inpatient services, including a cardiac catheterization lab, cardiac surgery, general surgery, labor and delivery, and complete medical and surgical capabilities,” Frank noted. “It will offer outpatient services such as an Emergency Department, imaging services and physician offices.”
Unique features at the facility include a “hybrid operating room,” Frank said, explaining that this state-of-the-art design is an advanced procedural space that includes a traditional operating room (OR) and medical imaging devices. “Having advanced imaging and surgical technologies available in the same space makes it easier on the patient,” he remarked. “Our teams will be able to give them a single visit to the hybrid OR as opposed to multiple procedures. It allows us to do more advanced interventions in the operating room.” While Frank emphasized that the most important feature of Lancaster Medical Center is its team of caregivers, he detailed design features that reflect the organization’s commitment to a healthy work environment. Departments and units are designed to promote staff collaboration and efficient workflow that reduces steps and provides quick access to supplies when minutes matter, he said. “A state-of-the-art café with indoor and outdoor seating provides healthy dining in a soothing atmosphere,” Frank shared. “Meditation areas, abundant windows with panoramic views, art and décor designs and the walking trail further promote wellbeing for staff and visitors.”
Construction on the hospital began in 2020. “Being able to design a hospital from scratch gives you many opportunities to incorporate design and technology into an exceptional patient experience,” Frank said. “We’ve planned so we are able to provide state-of-the-art technology for the community needs now and in the future as our community grows. We’ve engaged our physician partners in the technology choices just as our nurses are engaged in designing our care. And we’ve added expanded consumer technologies like inroom digital patient education to not only provide the highest level of quality care, but also easy accessibility, comfort and convenience.”
Projected population growth was an important factor in choosing the site of the new medical center, he said. “ We know that Lancaster County is growing, and along with population growth will come the need for more health care services,” he commented. “This location provides a comfortable and convenient access to Penn State Health care, especially for an aging population. It allows us to anticipate the city’s outgrowth and plan for our community of 10 years from now. And not just in age, but in many other measures of diversity. Understanding the changing face of our community has been a key driver for our decisions from staffing, to care design to locations.”
