The glass in one of the doors here is held in this way, but only one door,
I think. Don't know why all 3 doors are done differently, guess my

Examined today Stanford White's 1907 Colony Club, at Madison and 30th, a
very sophisticated work of design. One element I had never seen before:
the muntins of the double-hung windows are, instead of routed on one side
to serve as a "bed" for the glass, are cut flat straight through. The
glass is held in place by separate trim >>>on each side<<< of the glass,
instead of the more frequent design of applied putty on one side and the
routed bed on the other.
