PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT: On August 4, 2016 I met with the homeowners, Tony and Sara at their home at 413 Lamont Terrace located in the Chapin Park Local Historic District. They have applied to replace seven (7) double hung wood windows with Marvin aluminum clad wood windows. The house had a rear addition added that was approved with a previous COA and utilized the same Marvin windows as this new application. I inspected the outside of the structure and each window has an intact wooden storm window. I was able to inspect the interior of each window and as the photographs provided by the homeowner was able to see that the windows currently in place are not the originals but were wooden replacement sashes with multicolored panes. The sashes are ill- fitting and have been caulked and or painted shut. Even so the owner keeps plastic over the windows to keep the air conditioned air inside the house. Many of the interior stops are missing and some of the panes of glass are broken. These sashes are not deteriorated beyond repair but as stated clearly not original.
