80 Year Old Stained Glass Artist Keeps Working in Boston
Thomas J. Murphy, about eighty, remains active in stained glass creation in Boston's South End. He planned to retire years ago but completed a foot window for St. Mary's Church before a fire halted its installation. Murphy has produced windows for many churches across denominations, and despite Catholic roots he advocates individual opinion. A native of New Scotland, he came to the United States at seven, apprenticed at 16 to Donald McDonald, and later inherited Samuel West’s firm, one of Boston’s oldest stained glass shops established in 1847. He still works long days, per family and his books, as a devoted 13th century craftsman.
