AUBURN - She's more than 100 years old, as solid as stone, and requires a very expensive makeover.

Sitting at 17 Nelson St. in downtown Auburn, Willard Memorial Chapel is in trouble.

The chapel was the focus of a fund-raising concert held Sunday afternoon at Highland Golf and Country Club to raise money for stained glass window restoration.

The concert - dubbed Tunes for Tiffany - was one part of a larger fund-raising operation run by the Community Preservation Committee to save the 17 stained glass windows in the chapel. Named for their creator, Louis Comfort Tiffany, the windows will require several hundred thousand dollars to be fully restored.

"We had all the windows evaluated in terms of the need of repair," said Kathy Walker, executive director of Willard Memorial Chapel, who has been working on the restoration project for the past three years.

The Tiffany windows - as well as the chapel itself - were built between 1892 and 1894 and represent the only remaining complete Tiffany interior left in its original location. Durr Stained Glass Studios in Syracuse will conduct the restoration, which will be done in three phases.

The current phase consists of a new protective covering for the outside of each window as well as the complete restoration of four windows. It will cost $100,000 just for Phase 1.

"We wanted to do another summer event," said Walker, who conducts historic homes tours every other summer to help raise money. "The music theme kind of just fell in line with our mission."

The Tunes for Tiffany concert featured such bands as The Soda Ash Six, Joe Whiting and The Kevin Dorsey Collective. A committee of four, composed of members of the Willard Memorial Chapel Board, spent six months planning and organizing the event.

"People love music," said June Graybill, a member of the committee. "I thought it would be a great idea."

The preservation committee has already begun to plan other fund-raising activities including a possible Octoberfest. The rest of the money needed for the restoration will be received through individual donations as well as state grants.
