Can I replace my windows?

Possibly. First, staff will need to assess the windows you want to replace, in order to determine if they are historic. If so, historic windows must be repaired unless extremely deteriorated. If the windows are not historic, they can be replaced with new windows using a material appropriate to the period of the structure. Learn more on page 29-30 of the Historic Architectural Guidelines.
