STANDARDS,AND GUIDELINES: River Bend Local Historic District Standards and Guidelines <br />• <br />C. WINDOWS AND DOORS <br />Windows and door frames are in nearly all cases wood. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels; masonry block structures have <br />masonry sills and lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied window trim has been covered. About half of the <br />structures in the district have aluminum storm windows, the other half wood storm windows. <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors including sash, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods, and hardware shall be retained <br />or when deteriorated beyond repair, replaced with duplicates of the existing or original. <br />Recommended <br />Wood frame storm windows and doors, painted to match the existing or original, should be used but should not damage existing frames and <br />should be removable in the future. If new sash and doors are used, the existing or original materials, design, and hardware should be used. <br />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 <br />canvas material. <br />Prohibited <br />Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and <br />door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door <br />features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. <br />Not Recommended <br />Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building <br />should not be used. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff concedes that one of the sashes is extensively deteriorated. Replacement <br />of the windows with an aluminum -clad window model is supported, although staff would prefer to see the original <br />"two -window" format be replicated. <br />Written by <br />Adam Toering <br />Historic Preservation Specialist <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel , <br />Historic Preservation Administrator <br />Satellite and Sanborn Imagery • <br />Diagram I - Sanborn map from 1917 and 1960, as well as satellite imageryfrom 2017. <br />LJ <br />
