Elmer is a borough of barely more than a square mile, and it exists because the railroad came through this part of Salem County in the nineteenth century and gave the surrounding farms a place to ship from. What grew up around that is a compact village of frame houses — late-Victorian gables and porches, some Queen Anne detailing on the better ones, plainer two-story frame homes on the side streets, and early-twentieth-century bungalows and Colonial Revivals filling in after. Elmer Lake sits at the edge of the borough and farmland surrounds everything else. These are modest houses, well built for their day, on small lots and with a great deal of original woodwork still in place. Their windows are typically the original wood double-hungs, painted repeatedly, and in many cases never replaced at all.
Small village houses are measured individually and replaced with units built to those measurements, with sash proportions that suit a nineteenth-century frame front. Where original woodwork and trim are worth keeping, we work around them rather than through them. Porch-shaded front rooms get glass chosen for daylight; upper gable openings get done at the same time as the rest so the house is actually finished.
