The interior decorations by Tiffany and others were added in stages
after the completion of the current church building in 1891. Tiffany also decorated the dome of the apse and installed the white Vermont marble altar, reredos, credence, altar rail, pulpit and other apse decorations. By 1920, the Tiffany decorations in the Chapel of the Angels were completed, including two more stained glass windows and the large mosaic behind the altar. These works represent one of the largest Tiffany installations still intact in its original setting. The interior of the church was painted with brilliant colors in 1990 by Fine Art Decoration of New York. For most of its first 100 years, the sanctuary had been painted in neutral colors. In celebration of its centennial, the church was repainted using colors in the palette of the Tiffany decorations.
