1420 Academy window replacement

Kalamazoo

Description

Replacing two deteriorated third-story gable windows on a 1926 Italian Renaissance house; postponed because vinyl doesn't meet historic guidelines.

Impact summary

The homeowner wants safe, working windows in a new play area — wood replicas could skip the commission entirely via administrative review.
