Windows for Congdon home featuring quote from "Snow-bound" by Whittier

The third and fourth windows from the left on the top row feature lines from John Greenleaf Whittier's Snow-bound. The text quoted reads, "We did our nightly chores/We brought in the wood from out of doors"

A note on the back of this sketch reads, "Preliminary sketch- Congdon house."

The sketch features twelve windows. The top six windows are smaller and each comprised of two panels alongside one another. The bottom six windows are larger and are comprised of six panels each in a two by three pattern. Each window is bordered with a thin band of green, orange and blue with some portions not colored. The third and fourth windows on the top row each have designs within circles. Each circle has a border similar to the border of the windows. The left circle features a man carrying a load of wood inside during a snow storm. The right circle features a man feeding a cow hay using a pitchfork, again with snow in the background. There is text around the image on the left. It reads, "We did our nightly chores We brought in the wood from out of doors." At the bottom of the left window is the text, "Snow-Bound." At the bottom of the window on the right is the text, "John Greenleaf Whittier." The second window from the left on the bottom row features a panel in the top left corner depicting a turkey. The fifth window from the left on the bottom row features a panel in the top right corner, depicting another bird of unknown type.
