[MassHistPres] Window salvage suggestions

[Diane Derby]

Hmmm, I don't seem to have gotten Alison's reply - must have been just to you.  But glad she got in touch!   We had salvaged old windows from people in our neighborhood and in addition to sharing old glass with others who needed to replace a broken pane in their old windows, we have done likewise and when we had our barn/garage built, we had the person who made the garage doors use old glass in the windows across the tops of the doors and we used old sashes (with their old glass) in the cupola.   Looks great!    Diane
