South Bend and St. Joseph County <br />HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION <br />227 WEST JEFFERSON BLVD. <br />SOUTH BEND, IN 46601-1830 <br />Timothy S. Klusczinski, President <br />October 24, 2007 <br />Mr. Georges Enderle <br />710 Park Avenue <br />South Bend, In 46616 <br />Dear Dr. Enderle, <br />Phone: 574-235-9798 Fax: 574-235-9578 <br />e-mail: SBSJCHPC@co.st-joseph.in.us <br />A Certified Local Government <br />Catherine D. Hostetler, Director <br />The Commissioners of the Historic Preservation Commission instructed me to write to you concerning your bay's <br />windows and your desire to have operable, more energy efficient windows. <br />The latest information available from research indicates that the heat loss through the single pane of window glass <br />is about 20%, but, the majority of the heat loss is through improperly fitting sashes and the framing.. <br />The proposal that the Historic Preservation Commission would accept would be the total restoration of the original <br />—windows by an experienced craftsman with the installation of the appropriate weather-stripping to ensure a proper <br />fit. This would include the insulation of the window cavities as well to reduce the draughts and can be <br />accomplished in such a way as to accommodate the weights. The Commission would not have any objections to <br />interior storms and would recommend additional insulation on the bay window area around the knee wall and its <br />base. <br />The Commission might allow exterior storms if they could be applied discreetly in the window openings over the <br />restored windows. The Commission also might allow the installation of double paned window glass in the original <br />sashes if they could be successfully installed in the original window sashes. <br />The Historic Preservation Commission will only accept the least invasive applications for your home because your <br />home is a significant and landmarked structure within an architecturally important local and national register <br />district; and because the windows are not deteriorated beyond repair. The Staff and Commissioners would be <br />available to assist and advise the craftsman that you would select for your window project. <br />I know that a successful project is important to you and have enclosed product information and restoration articles <br />to help guide you in this process. Please do not hesitate to call with any questions or concerns. <br />Sincerely, <br />Catherine D. Hostetler, <br />Director <br />COMMISSIONERS <br />Mary Jane Chase (Treasurer) Shawn E. Peterson, Attorney Gerald Ujdak <br />Martha Choitz Lynn A. Patrick (Vice President) Linda Riley <br />Joann Sporleder (Architectural Historian) Todd Zeiger (Secretary) <br />
