EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 59 chapter 2 fascia directly. • Place windows so that there is proportionate space between the window and the floor level, but do not exceed the height of the entrance features. • Do not exceed the height and width ratios for windows and doors of adjacent buildings by more than ten percent. • Use window materials that are similar in character, profile, finish, and durability to historic windows used on nearby historic buildings. Recess window openings on masonry buildings and use a window opening with a raised surround on a wood frame building. • Use true divided-light (TDL) or simulated divided-light (SDL) windows. Windows should have a double-hung (or “double-sash”) appearance. • Use traditional casement and trim similar to those seen on nearby historic buildings. • Use mullions with historic profiles. Avoid the use of false mullions and tinted or reflective glass. • Minimize the visual impact of storm windows by designing them so that they appear to be part of the window. Shutters • Design shutters to be compatible with the architectural style of the building. • Use wood shutters that appear operable and fit the reveal of the window precisely. Awnings • Determine whether awnings are compatible with the architectural style of the building and design them in traditional locations. • Fit awnings 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. Do not use vinyl awnings. • Avoid covering character-defining architectural details with awnings.
