Love those windows, and I imagine that the interior might contain some solid woodwork, fixtures, and hardwood floors.

j_cuevas713 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The situation itself is unfortunate. Especially since the developer has a bad reputation.

Makes me think of all the kerfluffle that went around about old windows when the Heights historic district was established. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
