Housing and window planning in Historic Downtown

Two story houses from 1899 on East State Street run about 2,270 finished square feet, with original woodwork and a large front porch with updated posts and railings, main floor ceilings of 9.5 feet and a concrete basement. On Broadway, 1898 houses are a story and a half at about 2,250 square feet, with a front porch and a private screen porch. The 1899 houses on North Main Street and South East Street are smaller, at about 1,400 to 1,570 finished square feet, with enclosed or covered front porches. Houses from 1945 on South Main Street are one story plans of about 1,900 square feet.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What to check at the windows in Historic Downtown

Many downtown houses have newer or updated windows, so the age of the glass here often differs from the age of the house, and the crew checks frame depth and trim at every opening. Houses from the 1890s in these styles were commonly built with wood double hung windows, and a tall opening with its original casing often looks best with a shade that sits inside the frame and leaves the woodwork showing. The 9.5 foot ceilings on the main floor of the State Street houses call for a longer drop, and an enclosed or screened porch changes how much sun reaches the front rooms. Basements under the State Street and Main Street houses add small basement windows to the list.

We'll look at the way light enters your Historic Downtown rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Products to compare for your Historic Downtown home

These are options to discuss during your Historic Downtown consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.
