Level I: 129 S. Gay Street Window Replacement

1-A-22-DT

Approve As Requested

Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Certificate 1-A-22-DT as submitted.

Applicant Request
Level I: Exterior rehabilitation (window replacement)
    • Proposed replacement of four windows on third story of façade. Existing windows are non-historic, one-over-one, double-hung wood. Proposed replacement windows are one-over-one, double-hung, aluminum-clad wood. Proposed windows will be same overall size and design as existing. Scope of work does not involve modification to multi-light transom windows above center bays.

Property Notes / Work to be Completed
    • 129 S. Gay Street is a contributing resource to the Southern Terminal and Warehouse Historic District, so the Historic Resources section of the design guidelines applies. The existing windows are not the original windows. As the guidelines recommend replacing windows duplicating "material" of original or historic materials, the proposed window replacement cannot be approved on a staff level. Overall, the proposed window replacements are custom designed to replicate overall size, glass size, and muntin arrangement of the existing one-over-one, double-hung wood windows. Aluminum-clad wood can successfully replicate the muntin profile and size of wood sash; as long as the replacement windows are painted to match the rest of the building, replacements will match the existing and be consistent with the existing second-story windows. Aluminum-clad wood windows have been previously approved as new windows on historic buildings (121 E. Jackson Ave) and replacement windows on historic buildings (301 State Street, 7-C-16-DT).
