EXISTING STRUCTURES <br />C. WINDOWS and DOORS <br />Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are doublehung windows with wood <br />trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door <br />trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. <br /> <br />Required <br />Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When <br />deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. <br /> <br /> Recommended <br />Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new <br />sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they <br />should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. <br /> <br />Prohibited <br />Original doors, windows and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and reused in place. New window and door <br />openings, which would alter the scale and proportion of the building may not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features <br />such as metal, vinyl or fiberglass awnings, hoods or aluminum insulating glass combinations that require removal of original windows and <br />doors, shall not be installed. <br /> <br />Not Recommended <br />Fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used. <br /> <br />SITE VISIT REPORT:
