In 1900, President William McKinley appointed the Pennsylvania lawyer James Montgomery Beck to the position of assistant attorney general. This heraldic window was probably intended for his new house at 1522 K Street, but in 1903, Beck suddenly left public office to join the New York law firm of Shearman and Sterling, leaving the Washington commission unrealized. In this design, Tiffany interprets the British heraldic tradition in delicately colored glass; the central coat of arms does not relate directly to the Beck family and is probably fictitious.
