original windows of the construction era, 1898, where "grain count not conducive of fir wood that <br />would have been harvested and used for the windows during the time frame of the original • <br />construction". Further, "the cost to restore what is there will be far more costly WHILE ALSO in my <br />opinion not provide as structurally sound nor maintenance free of a product. The cost would probably <br />amount to more than 3 times the cost with far less of a return of investment (ie the end result would still <br />be a pieced together salvaged window which would also require routine maintenance year after year to <br />keep from falling apart again nor perhaps work as effectively as a new window which brings up safety <br />concerns in the apartment above should there be a fire." <br />Staff concurs that the windows may not be original although they seem to be of a pre -1950 vintage, <br />constructed using mortise and tenon, are single -glazed, and operable by sash cord and pulley. <br />Window conditions vary and include: vinyl replacement inserts, extreme wood rot, missing and <br />inconsistent trim profiles, excess paint preventing function, plexiglass in lieu of glass, broken glass, <br />caulk used in lieu of glazing, and damaged or missing weights (see Site Visit report). <br />Character defining exterior wood molding will be retained, restored and replicated where <br />deteriorated/missing by recreating the profile with custom made trim knives. <br />Proposed Product: Applicant pledges that care will be taken to replicate the historic accuracy of the <br />product noting that the existing windows are painted, so use of aluminum clad -wood products would <br />not detract from the outward appearance and would provide historic accuracy. The clad would reduce <br />the maintenance of the paint/color to perhaps every 10-20 years. New custom Lincoln windows will <br />replace the deteriorated existing frames and sashes. In instances where the wood frame is in good <br />condition, applicant will replace only the sashes. <br />2. Replace existing garage door with new custom commercial grade thermal steel bi-fold door system • <br />manufactured by Arcadia Custom units designed to mimic hot rolled steel doors and windows common <br />from the late 1800s through 1920s. <br />3. Replace existing passage doors with new custom wood doors by mill shops to replicate door designs <br />found at the last century to the brick arch details around the exterior of the building. <br />SITE VISIT REPORT: <br />Preservation Inspector Visit 03/28/2018 <br />The structure has four different types of windows that I was able to detect: <br />-2 non-operable wood windows in wood frames with colonial type casement molding at dormer above front garage <br />door <br />-12 non-operable panes of glass built into the framework three on each side of cupola <br />-6 double -hung wood windows with 1/1 pattern at rear addition of structure. These are of later construction using <br />friction type function without weights and have exterior brick molding <br />-17 older wood windows double -hung with 1/1 pattern. These have weights, pulleys, and pockets intact, but most <br />are inoperable because of paint, caulking, missing sash ropes, or secured in place with screws. The outsides of <br />windows have a colonial type casement molding. <br />Structure faces southeast, for the salve of clarification I will refer to windows from top level to lower level and from <br />left to right beginning with the direction the wall faces from the outside and the correlating number. For example, <br />the southeast side, second story, the farthest left window will be SEL <br />Southeast (front) <br />SEI -2 <br />-two non-operable windows in front dormer unable to photograph from inside, condition unknown • <br />SE3-6 <br />-second floor older wood double hung with interior storms. Painted shut with caulk and paint used for <br />weatherization, exterior glazing is failing with water infiltration from outside entering at corners causing separation <br />at mortise and tendon joints especially at lower sash. <br />
