December 14, 2016 <br />RE: 1246 E Jefferson COA 2016-1206 <br />On December 13, 2016 at approximately 3pm I met with Pat Ruszkowski the <br />owner of 1246 E Jefferson at his home. I had visited the home in 2015 and had taken <br />extensive photographs at the time of his last application, but since so much time had <br />passed, the staff agreed that an updated visit and photographs take place. There was no <br />change in the condition of the windows that the owner wishes to replace on the second <br />floor. However, the aspect of a cold, windy day as opposed to the previous warm <br />weathered visit offered different insight. The windows currently all have aluminum <br />storms in fair but operational condition. Even with the storms in place one could feel the <br />cold air as the wind blew but not rattling. (The storms utilize spring clips.) Especially in <br />those rooms with the built in "hide -away" storm shutters. Most of the lower sashes in <br />these windows are operational, however, some are painted shut and six of the lower <br />sashes needing re -roped. Most of the top sashes are painted shut as well. Although some <br />sashes definitely need some glazing most of the deterioration has taken place to the deep <br />sills between the storms and lower sashes but not the sashes themselves. Peeling paint <br />and buckling can be seen in the photographs submitted. Due to the depth of the sills <br />especially in the south "hidden shutter" rooms, any replacement windows will need to <br />have a transition or wrap to accommodate the space so as to "bridge" the interior and <br />exterior wall. <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />
