CAPE CHARLES, Va. — The Cape Charles Historic District Review Board on Tuesday approved a series of changes to properties within the town’s historic district, including the replacement of windows in a well-known downtown building, construction of an accessory structure, and installation of fencing.
At 201 Unit B Mason Avenue, a three-story structure that formerly housed the Cape Charles Library on the ground floor, the board gave the green light to replace twelve existing wood/steel windows with twelve new units from Hope’s Landmark 175 Series. The replacement windows, made of solid hot rolled steel, match the original manufacturer and will include hardware consistent with the existing design. Additionally, a smaller 2-foot-2-inch by 3-foot double-hung aluminum window will be replaced with a larger 2-foot-2-inch by 6-foot aluminum window of similar style.
Hope’s Windows, known for producing historically accurate and durable steel windows, also fabricated the originals for the building, which is part of the Cape Charles Historic District.
The board also approved the construction of a new 12-foot by 20-foot (240 square foot) accessory structure at the rear of the same property.
Separately, at 201 Tazewell Avenue, an application was approved to install a wood picket fence around the property, with gates to be located in both the front and rear yards.
