WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION BASED OFF OF INTENT AND
GUIDELINES:
Page 52 of the current guidelines state:
Windows:
Windows should be preserved in their original location, size, and design with their
original materials and number of panes. Stained, leaded, beveled, or patterned glass,
which is a character -defining feature of a building, should not be removed. Windows
should not be added to the primary facade or to a secondary facade if easily visible.
Windows should be repaired rather than replaced. However, if replacement is
necessary due to severe deterioration, the replacement should match, as closely as
possible, the original in materials and design. Replacement windows should not have
snap -on or flush muntins. Unless they originally existed, jalousie, awning, and picture
windows and glass brick are inappropriate on an historic building.
Screen and Storm Windows:
2
Screen and storm windows should be wood or baked -on enamel or anodized aluminum
in dark colors and fit within the window frames, not overlap the frames. Screens should
be full -view. Storm windows may also be mounted on the inside of windows. Half
screen and screen or storm windows smaller than original window, are not
recommended.
