    It's really interesting to see how the building was built and upkept over time.

    why go through the effort to strip the paint and re-fill the wood when you can just make a new window frame ?

      The wood is old growth and can last centuries, plus it's historic value. Replacement windows would be made of plastic and break after a decade. Plus if you use replacement windows you have to shrink the size of the window. Nothing beats an old wood frame.

      @@benkleschinsky Replacement windows can certainly be made of wood and of premium quality. They can also be custom made to replicate the original. Only 'insert' replacement windows reduce the window size. 'Full frame' window replacements can be the same size as the original.

      As it’s an historic building they are Conserving the fabric of it. This includes all the fixtures and fittings. Therefore if something is found to be damaged they will cut out the damaged part and replace with something as close to the original.

    Too bad the insurrectionists made more work for these artists.

    Seems like a waste of taxpayer money to keep fixing up old stuff instead of replacing it.
