When a historic building has fallen into disrepair, been vacant or subjected to significant renovations, the issue of what to do with the windows can be a significant aspect of the overall rehabilitation project. The windows provide a view into the building’s past and play a key role in restoring its glory for the future.
This course will use the Cincinnati Music Hall, a National Historic Landmark built in 1878, to demonstrate the planning, research, design and execution that goes into a large window restoration project and the deciding factors between repair or replace.
Learning Objectives:
- Document the initial planning, research and investigation that is required on a rehabilitation project.
- Describe fenestration solutions selected for the restoration of Cincinnati Music Hall.
- Explain the economic and environmental impact of historic preservation.
- Compare window replacement challenges and considerations, especially for historic tax credit projects
