INDIANA---Fox Studios Inc., the venerable stained glass company whose work is on display at countless churches throughout the state and even the Indiana Statehouse, is closing. Clare Fox Acheson, 59, a second-generations owner, is ready to retire from the demands of her 12-hour days. Churches account for about 75 percent of the company's work and keep Fox Studios busy. If parishners aren't building a new sanctuary, they're restoring the one they have. The company's more recent clientele includes St. Paul's Episcopal Church on North Meridian Street, St. Mary Catholic Church at New Jersey and Vermont Streetsm abd St. Roch Catholic Church on the South side. Fox Studios has been accredited since 1978 by the Stained Glass Association of America, meaning it's passed rigourous standards set by the organization. [link]
