Replace Greenhouse Windows PMIS# 178725 $47,699

Description

Replace all 20 Greenhouse windows with new custom fabricated windows.

Justifications

The removable window frames have exceeded their life expectancy and it has become necessary to replace them. This building is historic and was built in the 1920s and is used to propagate plant material for the Old House Garden and the cultural landscape. The Greenhouse building is within the view shed of the park boundary, and it is seen daily by the park’s visitors. The building still contains much historic fabric. The park and its various sites receive approximately 250,000 visitors annually and projections point to increased visitation in the future.
