| History Note: | The mansion at 802 Hall St has a stairwell window which is probably an outstanding example of Paul H. Wolff's artistry. The windows are identified as his work in several publications, including Enyart's The Stained Glass Windows of Saint Joseph. Wolff's work is also found in many ecclesiastical installations throughout the county. Paul H. Wolff was born in Stuttgart, Germany, and arrived in St. Joseph in 1889 and went to work for the firm of Samuel I. Smith and Co., a firm established in 1873. Samuel Smith was a brother of C.D. Smith, builder of the mansion at 718 N 7th St. Mr. Wolff created his windows by making drawings and water color designs, then cutting out each piece of glass separately. In 1902, Mr. Wolff established his own business which operated continuosly until the 1960's. - | ||||||
