About the Artwork
The large window in the entrance lobby depicting jesus and the Wesley Brothers was dedicated in 1949 in a stairwell on the north side of the Asbury Building. In 2007 the window was removed, renovated and installed in this building by Piercey Studios. It will be taken down and saved for a future building when the current building is raxed to make way for the Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center.
As is typical of fine glass craftsmanship, every piece is painted to some extent. Because of the age and quality of construction, the window has been placed in the Florida Historical Stained Glass Survey. Portrayed in the 6 X 20 foot window are Jesus; John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church; and Francis Asbury, the first Methodist bishop to serve in America.
