FRIENDS' Testimony:

Although there are no original windows remaining at 125 East 93rd Street, FRIENDS feels that the establishment of a master plan for future window replacements is the ideal time to correct previous changes to the building. The original Pelham design employed wood-framed 6-over-1 double-hung windows, which added to the visual interest of the building. We found the aluminum-framed 1-over-1 double-hung windows installed in the early 1980s detract from the building’s pleasant neo-Medieval detailing. Acknowledging this, it would be a shame to pass up the opportunity to set a master plan which would correct this condition, especially as the anticipated life-expectancy of the current windows reaches its end and many windows will require upgrading in the near future.

The Preservation Committee at FRIENDS requests that the master plan require 6-over-1 double-hung windows in order to bring the building back into alignment with the architects original design intent.
