Glassboro was named for what it made. A glassworks was established here in 1779 and glassmaking sustained the town for well over a century, which is why the older streets are lined with the compact frame houses that industry built for its workers — two-story, gabled, close to the sidewalk, with tall narrow double-hung sash. Larger Victorians and early-twentieth-century homes went up around the center as the town prospered. Then came the college: what began as Glassboro State is now Rowan University, and the borough has been reshaped around it, with a great deal of older housing converted to student rentals and a corridor of newer mixed-use building added in recent years. That mix is unusual for South Jersey — nineteenth-century worker housing, substantial Victorians and heavily used rental property, all needing different things from a window.
Owner-occupied and rental properties get different specifications, and we are straight about that. Older houses in the historic streets get units measured to the opening with sash proportions that suit the elevation. Rental and multi-unit work gets durable hardware, secure locking and egress sizing checked against how the rooms are actually used. Bay and porch assemblies are rebuilt properly rather than patched.
We will look at the house as it is used now, not just as it was built, and recommend accordingly.
