There was a mention of it in the 1983 OHJ New Consortium.Or does anyone have a resource on how to fabricate an integral storm window into an old wood sash window?See More

Then I saw your restoration photos. Oh My God! Incredibly beautiful Greek Revival that emerges once that ugly enclosed porch was returned to its original open state! WHat a beautiful home. I love the massive pilasters and entablature in each of the front corners of the house. And the greek revival trim around the entryway door. Those never stood out when the porch was enclosed. GREAT JOB.
I cant wait to see the finished product!
