Roslyn is unusual on Long Island for having a village center that is genuinely old and largely intact. The settlement sits in a valley at the head of a harbor, and the houses in and around the historic core run back into the nineteenth century — clapboard, tight to the street, on lots that were laid out long before cars. The land rises steeply on both sides of the valley, so most of the housing outside the center sits on slopes, in a mix of periods from the late nineteenth century through the postwar decades. The historic core is the constraint that shapes window work here. In a village this small, this old and this visible, the appearance of a replacement is a public matter, and a sash whose proportions are wrong is noticed by more people than the owner.
On the older houses we take sizes from the openings and match sash proportion and muntin width to what is there, since on a nineteenth-century facade the window rhythm is most of the design. Where the village core is involved we specify with the historic appearance in mind from the start rather than as an afterthought. On steep lots we work out the route to each opening before anything is ordered.
We will look at what the house is and what the street expects, which in Roslyn are both part of the same question.
