Robert Toland Wright

  • American

Robert T Wright was an American stained-glass artisan active in Cleveland during the early 20th century, known for ecclesiastical window programs produced by R Toland Wright Studios. His work was marked by meticulous craftsmanship — each piece of glass reportedly handled more than a dozen times before a window was completed. Highlights of his output include the 1926 nave windows depicting the life of Jesus for the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago and the 1927 "Life of St Paul" window group installed in the St Paul Chapel at Christ Church Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills. These commissions reflect his studio's characteristic Gothic-arched compositions and narrative religious themes. - AsNotedIn
