-
Window Replacement: Removal of non-historic windows and installation of historically appropriate double-hung fiberglass or wood windows consistent with the home's original window style. Vinyl windows will not be used.
-
Restoration of Missing Eave: Reconstruction of the front door eave, which evidence indicates once existed but was removed during a previous alteration.
