Southwest 9th & Burnside St.

The North Pacific Building.

If you enlarge the previous photo, you might be able to see the STRAPS being used to keep the glass from falling out of the window sash.
|
As one might imagine, these awning windows might tend to actually catch & collect water at the top of the bottom-rail when it rains. No doubt, sorely testing the original putty-glazing.
|
Old growth, tight-grain Fir Wood-Species, and the protection afforded by Lead-Paint aside, it’s probably not too difficult to imagine why these windows would be showing their age about now.
|
So it was that we were contracted to temporarily board-up the opening…
|
…after which we brought the sash back to our shop & fabricated and installed a new bottom-rail.
|
After which we the repaired window sash was returned to the job-site…
|
…one early morning for reinstallation.
|
Another 100 years of use? Who knows?
