Anton Ostertag Mansion built in the mid 1800's Atchison, KS
Glass Window located above victorian marble fireplace. Looks like a famous work of art no doubt. Was told by local historians that the window has a hidden mural of horse and carriage.
The big question is what artisit made this glass? Could it have been someone famous like John La Farge or
Louis Comfort Tifany? The window sash has writing but it not legible enough to read.
History of Anton:
The Carriage and Wagon-making interests of the city are represented by J. C. McCully, Sixth street; J. J. Potter, on Main street, carriage makers, and George & J. Ostertag, in the wagon-making line. In the aggregate they employ thirty-six men, and sell wagons and carriages to the amount of $40,000. The pioneer in the wagon, plow and buggy trade was Anton Ostertag, who commenced business in Atchison in 1870. The firm now occupy commodious quarters near the corner of Seventh and Commercial streets.
