I replaced my 1927 model double-hung sash windows with 
double-hung sash Tilt-Paks from Marvin.  For the attic 
dormer, I got their new European style windows that tilt 
in or swing, and they are perfect for that location.  I 
now notice that the house is much quieter and not drafty 
anymore.  They even did the wood across the front windows, 
making the big fixed windows 3 over 1s just like the 
originals.

Now, I'm trying to get a copy of the original front door. 
 Nobody has 38" doors so it will have to be custom made.  :(
