Exterior View of “Mother of Good Counsel” Faceted Glass Window, Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel

Description

A full vertical exterior photograph documenting the outer face of the "Mother of Good Counsel" "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window set within the chapel’s exterior wall.

The image features:

* Exterior Matrix & Reversed Inscription: Viewed from the exterior under natural daylight, the glass slabs present as dark, muted shapes embedded within the light-toned mortar matrix. The vertically stacked text in the lower panel ("MARIA") appears mirrored and reversed when viewed from the outside.

* Outer Iconographic Elements: The dark structural outlines clearly outline the central Marian iconographic symbols, including the lower altar pedestal, the middle geometric chevron/cloak motifs, and the upper oil lamp of wisdom topped by a radiant crown.

* Exterior Wall & Sill: The window is set flush into a narrow, vertical recess within the smooth, light-gray exterior stucco wall, resting above a clean, tiered concrete or stone sill designed for weather drainage.

* Archival Field Record: This image documents the exterior physical state, seal integrity, and structural mortar condition of the window opening prior to the chapel's decommissioning.
