Front

The front has two windows which were originally wood, but were replaced with single-pane aluminum windows in the 1970s. Each has a fixed center pane and sliding side panes. These windows often rattle when the wind blows.

One idea that we have considered is to restore the front windows to wooden windows, similar to the original style. Here is a photo of one of these original windows on a neighboring house.

 Dimensions
Two windows:
89 inches by 59 inches
95 inches by 59 inches

 South side

The south side of the house has two windows on the upper level, and one window on the lower level.

 South side kitchen, upper level

 The kitchen window is an aluminum replacement window with a fixed center pane and sliding side panes. This window also occasionally rattles with strong wind. We would like to install a "greenhouse" style window which would allow placement of some of the orchids and other flowers that we have in the kitchen, which are currently taking up counter space. An example of this style of window is shown below.

Dimensions
64 inches by 36 inches

 South side, rear bathroom, upper level

 The rear bathroom window is situated high above the bathtub and is an aluminum window with louvered vents. This window allows a considerable amount of air to pass in and out of the house.

 Dimensions
23 inches by 35 inches

South side lower

The south side lower window is an original wooden window. It is the only lower-level house window that is outside of the gated rear yard. It is therefore a good candidate for a security window. It currently is a single pane wooden window. We never open the window, and it appears to be jammed shut.

Here are two examples of security solutions implemented by neighbors. We would prefer to find a more attractive solution to the security concern.

Dimensions
47 inches by 35 inches

 North side

There is one window on the north side of the house. It is on the second floor and is in the front bedroom (currently used as a study). The window is a single-pane wooden frame window with a fixed section on one side and a movable section on the other that swings out. There is some deterioration in the movement, making closing the window difficult.

Dimensions
59 inches by 35 inches

Rear

There are two windows in the upper rear side of the house, one in each bedroom, and a pair of joined windows in the lower level rear, part of the unfinished lower level

South Rear Bedroom, upper level

Original window, wooden and single pane.  The counter-weight of the lower window is broken, so the window does not stay put.

 Dimensions
54 inches by 48 inches

North Rear Bedroom, upper level

Original windows, wooden single pane. Each window operates correctly.

Dimensions
Two windows, 54 inches by 36 inches

Rear, lower level

Two original windows. Neither is currently operating. We may want to consider a security solution. Alternately, these windows are part of an unfinished lower level room, which could be finished at some point. One possible design would replace these windows with a sliding glass door exiting onto the patio.
