Upon looking at the east (left) casement you can see that the top left corner has split and the lower left corner has sunk so that the hinge that normally curves above the sill has now bent over it. The right casement has the opposite condition with a raised top corner pinning the hinge and a gap on the lower corner which has been heavily caulked. To repair this window set the entire apparatus would need to be removed, stripped, painted, and glazed. The hinges will need to be realigned and the framework flange also straightened. The opening has a solid upper lintel that is in good shape and a limestone sill that is also in excellent condition. The remainder of the windows were replaced in a previous COA.
