Housing and window planning in Washington Park

Of the 110 contributing buildings, 101 are single houses, joined by eight doubles, two duplexes, a four unit apartment building and a former Greek Orthodox church. The styles include Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, Italian Renaissance, Tudor Revival and Bungalow or Craftsman, many drawn from European models. The Harry Hartley house is a smaller replica of the Chateau de Malmaison, Napoleon's former residence, and Senator Albert J. Beveridge wrote his Pulitzer Prize winning biography of John Marshall in his home here. Sizes run from about 1,400 square feet in the brick one stories of the late 1930s to about 6,500 square feet in the largest brick two stories, some on lots near an acre.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What to check at the windows in Washington Park

With five revival and Craftsman styles on a few blocks, window types change from house to house. Italian Renaissance designs often bring arched openings, which call for a fitted treatment or a shade set above the curve, and Tudor Revival houses lean toward casements that crank outward. Colonial Revival fronts commonly carry double hung wood windows in matched pairs, while Bungalow and Craftsman houses tend to have a divided upper sash over a single lower pane. Some 1920s two stories on New Jersey Street have a large sunroom, a Palladian window and French doors. The crew measures arches, sunroom glass and standard sash separately, since each calls for a different mount.

We'll look at the way light enters your Washington Park rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Products to compare for your Washington Park home

These are options to discuss during your Washington Park consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.
