I am not sure where you are looking. Just to be clear, t is located in the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District, therefore subject to the rules and regulations of the Historic District Commission. This commission reviews all buildings in the district, new and old. It is also subject to the conservation easement which was put in place by the owner at that time.

I am trying to find the details of the historic register listing for the 1011 Scott Street house and do not see them included in the NPS database. Is this a recent listing or is there another database I should check?

On the modern addition to the rear that the previous owner used as her art studio, those modern windows (if failing) can be replaced. On the historic house itself, the original windows need to remain. You do have some options for improving the energy efficiency of those windows though. You can add wood framed storm windows to the exterior or you can add interior storm windows (a better option if you have an aversion to ladders and taking storm windows on and off depending on the season) to improve the thermal insulation. For interior storm windows, I have a couple of links to different manufacturers you can look into: http://www.alliedwindow.com/index.html http://www.indowwindows.com/ 2 http://www.climateseal.com/preservation_window_inserts/preservation_window_inserts.htm I also have a couple of links to wood storm window companies. The second one Spencerworks, integrates the storm and screen into the wood frame so they can be opened and closed for the seasons without having to deal with a ladder and heavy frames. http://adamsarch.com/wood-storm-windows/ http://spencerworks.com/ I hope you find these resources helpful in your research. When you make a decision on which way you want to go with storm windows, I will need to review the project plan and provide you with a sign off letter for the project. Please let me know what else I can do to help.

All exterior changes to the house (and possibly the grounds) must be approved in writing by the coordinator, Paul Porter, at AHPP before application is made to the HDC. His number is 324-9880. The windows on the side of the structure would require a COA from the HDC before replacement. I would suggest giving Paul a call shortly. I am including him on this email.

The house is at 1011 Scott Street. I am understanding that we can't replace windows on the front but I am curious about the sides. Also, a part of the house is an addition and I'm under the impression that we can replace windows there....

So there is not a stock answer to give you. Maintenance of existing windows (repair) is something that I can sign off on as staff. This is what most people prefer. If you want to replace your windows, that will require a public hearing which requires public notification of neighboring properties, title searches, etc. If you can give me more information about which house you are looking at, I can be of more assistance. Certain houses have conservation easements on them which will require additional approval.

The home currently has non- functioning windows. We would like to strategically identify windows to replace with functioning windows to allow for airflow through the home. It would be feasible to find replacement windows that maintained the visual appearance of the current windows. Is replacing windows an option in the MacArthur Park Historic District or is our only option repairing the existing windows? Thanks for your time and input, Katy Elliott Sent from my iPhone
