Commission approves window replacements at 32 Green Street with preservation‑planner signoff
Summary
The HDC approved the 32 Green Street application conditionally, requiring the applicant to confirm exact muntin/profile details for Pella Reserve windows with the preservation planner before final sign-off.
Commissioners approved the 32 Green Street application on the condition that the exact window profile and muntin details be reviewed and signed off by the preservation planner before the certificate of appropriateness is finalized. The applicant said the goal was to match historic proportions; commissioners scrutinized whether Pella Reserve windows would replicate original muntin depth and true-divided-light appearance.
One commissioner, cautioning against manufactured profiles that can differ from historic sash, said, “I personally would not be in favor of approving these windows,” but the commission reached a compromise: replace windows dated to 2000 with Pella wood windows only after the preservation planner confirms the muntin profile; all other original wood windows will be restored.
