RE: Proposed installation of exterior storm windows for the US Arsenal, Little Rock Jean Block

Dear Mr. McAteer: Gabe Holmstrom
Kathi Jones
Kathy McCarroll
The Quapaw Quarter Association (QQA) appreciates the opportunity to review the specifications on the Kathleen McDonald
exterior storm windows proposed for installation at the National Historic Landmark, US Arsenal, Little Rock, Yvette Parker
The US Arsenal, Little Rock, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and is component of David Robinson
the Camden Expedition National Historic Landmark Sites, designated in 1994. Tom Wittenbere
In accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's (S01) Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Properties, we have
reviewed the submittal to assess the potential impact of the undertaking. The proposed treatment is consistent with Sol
Standards for Rehabilitation #9, and #10: it does not damage or modify historic fabric and is differentiated from the historic
fabric, additionally, the storm windows can be easily removed in the future with little to no damage to the historic fabric.
The National Park Service, Preservation Brief #9, The Repair of Historic Wooden Windows, addresses weatherization.
According to the Brief, "The use of exterior storm windows should be investigated whenever feasible because they are
thermally efficient, cost-effective, reversible, and allow the retention of original windows."
Therefore, the QQA recommends approval of the installation of the exterior storms as specified, Allied One Lite, with the
condition that the trim is painted to match the window trim to appear as unobtrusive as possible.

Sincerely,
Patricia M. Blick
Executive Director
