In the annals of American art preservation, few stories are as compelling as Hugh McCain's personal connection to Louis Comfort Tiffany and his subsequent mission to save the master's work from destruction. Through a remarkable interview conducted by Les Anderson, we gain intimate access to McCain's memories—not just as a scholar and museum director, but as one of the last people to know Tiffany personally and witness the splendor of Laurelton Hall before its tragic demise.

Between 1898 and 1933—spanning thirty-five years until Tiffany's death—Arlington Street Church commissioned what would become the largest collection of single-themed Tiffany windows in the world. Sixteen magnificent panels, conceived and executed as a unified narrative, demonstrate what becomes possible when patronage extends beyond individual commissions to embrace a complete artistic vision.

Today, The Dream Garden remains in situ at its original home in Philadelphia's Curtis Center, its 100,000+ pieces of glass catching and transforming light just as Tiffany intended. Visitors come from all over the world, just as Bok hoped they would more than a century ago.
