[MassHistPres] Window Replacement in Historic Town Hall

[Dekle, Ross (SEC)]

The Town of Holbrook has just completed such a project on many of the
windows on their 1878 Town Hall.  The work was partially funded through
a MPPF grant.  The results are spectacular.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Window Replacement in Historic Town Hall


The town of Hamilton has a Town Hall that was built in the late 1890's.
The Town's Capital Planning Committee, along with the Town Manager, has
applied for, and won a Federal Grant for energy efficiency improvements.
The manager is convinced that window replacement is the only way to go
and our local HDC feels otherwise. 

Does anyone have any experience in using the grant money for restoration
of the original sash along with addition of new storms?

Thanks,
