Because the East Wayne Street Standards and Guidelines specify that 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, the Commission will want to ensure that repair has been considered before a consideration for the new product will be made; please refer to the COA application checklist on page 3: “Evaluation / Quote by repair professional”. With that said, if the original windows are deemed “deteriorated beyond repair”, the Commission is generally accepting of the aluminum clad replacement windows that you have proposed in the application. Unfortunately, replacing original windows with new is not eligible for Administrative Approval and will need to be heard by the Historic Preservation Commission at a public hearing. The next scheduled meeting is July 20 and with the evaluation by a repair professional, this COA could be included on that agenda. As a resource, the window repair professional list is attached – please note that this list is not an endorsement and there may be other professionals available that aren’t known/not listed. Please let me know how else I can help or if you would like to request a meeting to discuss this.

It would be helpful the have a photo of the condition from the interior of each of the proposed windows. If they are original windows, the Commission will ask what condition the windows are in and if you’ve considered repairing the original and will be reviewed for approval by the Commission. Thank you.
