Windows

- Replace existing deteriorated wooden double-hung windows with custom aluminum-clad wood windows by Pella or similar manufacturer, including the brick molding and sills to match existing in profile. The windows will be simulated-divided-light with muntins on the exterior as well as the interior and a shadow-bar between the glass panels. The original metal windows on the basement or ground level and small decorative classical x-form windows on the attic level are to be repaired. Approximately 130+- of the original windows are to be repaired and restored and installed within the recessed courtyard area facing the Lamar Street side. Original glass is to be retained in these windows where possible.

Columns crowned with Doric capitals. Pierced stone balustrade and marble steps flanked by extended marble buttresses and supporting flour globe cast iron light fixtures. Metal ceiling.
