Window Repair and Replacement: Preservation and Design Guidelines
D.C. Historic Preservation Review Board. 2011. Window Repair and Replacement: Preservation and Design Guidelines. Historic Preservation Office, District of Columbia Office of Planning. Washington, D.C.
From introduction: "Windows are one of the most important and integral character-defining features of historic buildings. They provide a sense of scale, craftsmanship, proportion and architectural styling. Windows are a building component that requires occasional maintenance or repair, or if extremely deteriorated, replacement. This guideline is intended to provide property owners information on the technical and aesthetic considerations for window repair and replacement on designated historic property. It outlines the preservation and design principles applied in the review of this type of work to ensure that changes are compatible with the character of the property. The Historic Preservation Review Board (HPRB) has adopted regulations regarding window replacement for historic property that are summarized in this document." Project funding was provided in part by a 2011 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the District of Columbia Historic Preservation Office (project number DC-11-023, grant number 11-11-31915) administered by the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
