Summary

The commission unanimously approved a replacement of earlier non‑3D simulated‑divided‑lite windows with 3‑D muntin SDL windows at 38 Forrester Street, limited to the units shown in the applicant's submission.

The Newburyport Historic Commission on Feb. 25 approved a request from property owners at 38 Forrester Street to replace previously installed non‑3D simulated‑divided‑lite (SDL) vinyl windows with 3‑D muntin SDL windows intended to better match historic appearance.

Applicant Michael Manzate told the commission the existing non‑3D windows were installed before he sought the commission’s permission and requested approval for the replacement units (Matthew Brothers 3‑D muntins with a historic putty bead). Commissioners clarified that the approval covered the specific windows shown and not an open permission to replace all windows on the property in the future.

Commissioner Glenn Richards moved to approve the change; the motion passed by recorded affirmative votes from commissioners present.
