A decorative window from the historic Automat in Philadelphia has been restored and is now on sale for $1.2 million, according to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Manhattan art dealer Bernard Goldberg teamed with the Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania to commission Chandler Coleman, a stained glass designer, to restore two decorative windows from the historic Philadelphia Automat that was demolished in 1966.

Goldberg, who owns Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts in New York City, is offering a restored window for $1.2 million.

The windows were originally made by Philadelphia artist Nicola D'Ascenzo.
