EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 43 chapter 2 Entrances • Design doors and doorways to an addition to read as secondary in appearance and detailing to the historic building. • Use traditional materials with appearances similar to the doors on the historic building. • If a historic door is removed to accommodate the addition, consider reusing it on the addition. Windows • Design new windows to be compatible with the size, detailing, placement, rhythm, and relationship of solids to voids of those on the historic building. • Use windows with historic profiles and dimensions with a double-hung appearance. Use true divided-light (TDL) or simulated divided-light (SDL) windows rather than snap-in muntins or grids between the glass (GBG) styles. • Design windows to match the historic materials found on the building, but composite materials that have the appearance of wood are appropriate for windows, stops, jambs, and trim. • Determine whether shutters are compatible with the architectural style of the building. Where appropriate, use wood shutters that appear operable and fit the reveal of the window precisely. • If a historic window is removed to accommodate the addition, consider reusing it on the addition. Awnings • Determine whether awnings are compatible with the architectural style of the building and design them in traditional locations. • Fit the awning proportionately over window or door openings with an appropriate overlap at the sides. • Use a color that is compatible with the overall color scheme of the building. • Use duck canvas or cotton and polyester blends with or without acrylic treatment. Avoid vinyl awnings.
