| dc.description.abstract | Windows are some of the most significant character-defining features of any building. From window opening, to frame, to sash, to glazing, their construction and materials play a major role in the design of the building’s facade and overall composition. A building’s window and facade design can indicate the aesthetic style, building materials, and building technologies of their time and place. Inappropriate or unsympathetic window upgrades and treatments can drastically alter the appearance of a building. With that said, concerns over energy conservation, continued maintenance, and other considerations have lead to growing needs of window treatments and alterations for our historic buildings. This assessment identifies and documents the general condition of the typical window types found in Chapman Hall and provides a variety of treatment recommendations for their continued use. This initial assessment is intended to be used as a preliminary resource for the treatment of Chapman Hall’s original historic windows when planning any alterations or additions. | en_US |
