not find any evidence to suggest that the windows currently there could not be repaired to reach a higher level of efficiency and use, with the exception of the casements on the third floor. Steve Szaday, Preservation Specialist STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park II. EXISTING STRUCTURES C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double - hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases, where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and door openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows and doors, shall not be installed. Not Recommended Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends replacement of existing third floor casement windows with in-kind materials, and repair of all other existing windows on the second and third floors, as well as repair/replacement of existing storm windows where necessary.
