New York City’s historic brownstones are treasured for their architectural beauty and timeless charm. However, as winter sets in, these classic buildings often face challenges when it comes to energy efficiency. Aging windows, drafty frames, and single-pane glass can make it difficult to keep homes warm and energy bills manageable. The good news is that preserving the character of your historic brownstone doesn’t mean sacrificing modern comfort.
Historical Windows of New York is tackling a National Historic Trust property: helping to transform Kykuit’s orangerie into the new David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center. Historically appropriate, yet high performance windows are key to meeting the Rockefeller Brothers Fund sustainability goals while honoring the history of the estate.
