Intricate round windows must have been a popular theme with church designers in the 1800's in the Ironton, Oh area.
The first four are all on the second story and appear to be around 10 or 11 feet in diameter.
About three feet in diameter, this one needs a little work.
Originally a window damaged beyond repair, it was replaced with brickwork. And, not a bad job either.
There's four circles in this one. At least.

Haven't had a lot of time to be online lately, and when I am it seems it's always something besides Xanga.
I've been really remiss on keeping up with my friends, reading and commenting, and staying in touch.
Just so you know I'm not dead yet, thought I'd put up a couple more Kings of Leon tunes.
Stranded in this spooky town,
Stop right this way and then the phone lines are down
Snow is crackling cold,
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run,
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Drivin' by the strangle of vain
Showin' no mercy I'll do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby I'll bleed you dry
Skies are beneath me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer [2x]
You sh-sh-shock my bones,
Leavin' me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby where do I sleep?
Feels so good when I'm home
2000 years of chasing takin' it's toll
And it's coming closer [4x]
Im on the corner, waiting for a light to come on,
Thats when i know that your alone
Its cold in the desert, water that is easy around?
Special for girls without a sound?
You told me you loved me, that id never die alone
Hand over you heart lets go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the sign
Ive always been known to cross lines
Ive never ever cryed when i was feeling down
Ive always been scared of the sound
Jesus dont love me, no one ever carryed my load
Im to young to feel this old
Is it you? is it me? ?
No body knows no body sees
No body but me.
I'm thinkin' about trying to pre-order one of these.
If any of you guys want one, give me a shout. I'll see if we can wrangle a Xanga group discount!
Mine are done!! As of one hour ago!
How about yours?
Do you file early?
Or are you a wait til the last minute and try to beat the deadline type of filer?
Adventofreason and Jacksoncroons both tagged me for this 3rd sentence on the 92nd page thing.
Here are the rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open to page 92.
3. Find the third sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for a favorite book, pick the CLOSEST.
Being as I am at work right now, books are in short supply. Lots of magazines on the shelves, but only one book that I see.
That book is Revolutionary Wealth by Alvin and Heidi Toffler. It's obviously not my book, lol!
"With the annual cost of heart disease and stroke in the United States alone estimated to exceed $350 billion, how much might such a heart pump save?"
Hmmmm, sounds terminally boring to me, but maybe that's why I'll never be rich?
Don't know how many people you are supposed to tag, so I'll just pick 5.

On New Year's Day 1965, miffed at having to work on the holiday, Sales ended his live broadcast by encouraging his young viewers to tiptoe into their still-sleeping parents' bedrooms and remove those "funny green pieces of paper with pictures of U.S. Presidents" from their pants and pocketbooks. "Put them in an envelope and mail them to me," Soupy instructed the children. "And I'll send you a postcard from Puerto Rico!" He was then hit with a pie.
Several days later, a chagrined Soupy announced that money was unexpectedly being received in the mail. He explained that he had been joking and announced that unreturnable contributions would be donated to charity. As parents' complaints increased, WNEW's management felt compelled to suspend Sales for two weeks. Young viewers picketed Channel 5. The uproar surrounding Sales' suspension increased his popularity.
The show's set included a door in the background. During the show, Sales would answer a knock at the door and interact with an actor seen only as an arm. Occasionally, the guy at the door was a celebrity (Burt Lancaster, Fess Parker, Alice Cooper.)
One time during the Los Angeles years, as Sales was ending the show, he opened the door and saw a topless dancer gyrating with a balloon. Viewers saw only the balloon, although a second, nonbroadcasting camera captured the uncensored version, and Sales was forced to try to keep the show going without revealing the risque events backstage. This event, in censored and uncensored variations, has been featured on many blooper compilations.
Actually, this was the second time Sales' studio crew pulled this prank; the first time occurred while the show was being broadcast live from Detroit. Some reports say the gag was furthered by the crew switching the studio monitors so that Soupy would think the stripper image was going out over the air.
Ed's entry this morning had me looking at Soupy's old videos on YouTube.
This is a classic.
Question is, who's the third person at their table?
I know. Do you?
Soupy was born in North Carolina, but grew up here in the Tri-State area of Ky, Oh, and WVa. He graduated from Huntington High School and attended Marshall University where he earned a Master's Degree in Journalism. While attending Marshall College, he performed in nightclubs as a comedian, singer, and dancer. After graduating, he began working as a scriptwriter and a dj at radio station WHTN in Huntington.
Sales was born Milton Supman and got his unusual nickname from his family. His older brothers had been nicknamed "Hambone" and "Chicken Bone"; Milton was dubbed "Soup Bone," which was later shortened to "Soupy." When he became a disc jockey, he began using the stage name "Soupy Hines." After he became established, it was decided that "Hines" was too close to the Heinz soup company, so Soupy chose the surname "Sales," after comedian Chic Sale.
Here's another.
