As we previously wrote, John Mallon provided a number of windows for Villa Montezuma located in San Diego, California. Built in 1887 for an eccentric musician, spiritualist, and writer, the house is a nice example of Victorian decoration. Something great about this video is that it pays close attention to Mallon's windows of which there are many more than we initially thought. Please enjoy!

ETA: Four years and a pandemic later, and we finally had the opportunity to visit the enchanted Villa Montezuma! If you are in the San Diego area, we highly recommend taking a tour of this beautiful house. The glass is something to behold and a remarkable example of Mallon’s range. You can read more about the house courtesy of the Friends of the Villa Montezuma.
