Guidelines to Repair/Replace Historic Windows

I came across this booklet the other day in my collection - it was produced by the City of Charlottetown, compiled and written by Darrin Dunsford of William Chandler Architects Inc.

Here's the cover and a few pages from within.

This is a great guide on how to to restore the windows in a historic building. It allows for the person to keep the original look of the place without sacrificing the energy efficiency of the window. Hopefully, people follow these guidelines when they’re restoring their own old homes.

HERITAGE PRAYER

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.

We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.

Amen
