Commission approves Pella double‑hung windows for 108 School Street basement
Summary
After a public hearing and one public comment in favor, the commission approved replacing six basement windows at 108 School Street with the Pella Northwind double‑hung 6-over-6 in black, contingent on product confirmation.
The Springfield Historical Commission on March 6 voted to support a certificate-of-hardship application for 108 School Street to replace three basement windows and to install three taller basement windows (six windows total) using a Pella model specified by the petitioner.
Petitioner Angelina Martin presented the application and said the project replaces smaller openings and returns period-appropriate 6-over-6 divisions. One audience member, Harry Seymour of Washington Road, spoke in favor during the public comment period.
A motion passed to approve the installation of Pella Northwind double‑hung windows, 6-over-6, in black as presented by the petitioner; the commission asked the applicant to confirm the exact model and submit final specification sheets prior to installation. Commissioners noted the need for staff to verify that the installed product matches the approved sample and that any deviation would require a return to the commission.
Vote: Commissioners recorded affirmative votes during roll call (names recorded during the meeting). Staff will file the approval and request final product submittals.
The approval covers only the windows described in the application; the commission did not authorize other exterior changes beyond those listed and confirmed in the application materials.
