Nope, just the cheapest possible installation method for “art glass”, also known as stained glass. No difficult cuts. The lead channel is straight, quick solders at the joints. Mostly looks like relative inexpensive glass, too. (The ex made stained glass windows, very nice ones, and I picked up a lot from him.)

Still, it looks as though there’s at least some red in there, which isn’t cheap even if it’s flash glass.

Yeah, that’s why I said “mostly”. I love having even crap stained glass to see light through, so I’m sure this made it nice inside; it’s just that there’s lots of ways to make it simple but more interesting. You can still have all straight cuts and make it a lot prettier with diamonds at each intersection…for instance…the big pieces would be 8-sided, an irregular octagon.

seems a shame that the building is abandoned. looks like it has some lovely architectural details.
