 Question - @Frank Schulenburg: Do you have photos of the interior of the church? From my reading - there are 1500 of the pictured small windows with stained glass inserts, which create a beautiful, colorful light play in the sanctuary. - ERcheck (talk) 03:14, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately not. My wife and I didn't have much time while visiting Palo Alto. Best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 05:06, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

  Acroterion, Trapezoid windows or something like that? --Cart (talk) 10:32, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

  It's a modernist interpretation of plate tracery, but I'm not sure it's got a scholarly name in the modern version. Acroterion (talk) 12:06, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

  I haven't found a suitable modern term, trapezoidal windows it is. There are about 700 of them, and they tend to leak. The interior of the building is quite extraordinary. Acroterion (talk) 00:30, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
