Nicola D'Ascenzo (September 25, 1871, Torricella Peligna, Italy – April 13, 1954, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) was an Italian-born American stained glass designer, painter and instructor. He is best known for creating stained glass windows for the Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania; the Nipper Building in Camden, New Jersey; and the Folger Shakespeare Library and Washington National Cathedral, both in Washington, D.C. ==Biography== He was born in Torricella Peligna, Italy, into a family of artists, metalworkers and armor makers.〔D'Ascenzo catalogue (1973), p. 4.〕 His immediate family emigrated to the United States in 1882, and settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Working as a mural painter while in his teens, he attended night classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He attended and then taught at the Pennsylvania Museum School, where he met his wife, fellow instructor Myrtle Dell Goodwin (1864–1954). They married in 1894, and moved to Italy, where he studied at the Scuola Libera in Rome. The couple returned to Philadelphia in 1896, where he worked as a portrait painter and opened D'Ascenzo Studios, initially an interior decorating firm.〔Sandra L. Tatman, ("Nicola D'Ascenzo (1871–1954)," ) from Philadelphia Architects and Buildings.〕 D'Ascenzo Studios created Art Nouveau interiors (and later stained glass facades) for Horn & Hardart restaurants, a chain of about fifty automats that began in Philadelphia in 1902.〔(Horn & Hardart, 11th & Ludlow Sts., Philadelphia, ) from PAB.〕 The company's flagship restaurant in New York City (1912) was on Broadway at Times Square.〔(Horn & Hardart, Broadway )〕
