What that means for your windows

Tallmadge has older homes near its historic center and many newer houses farther out. Owners of older homes often weigh restoring wood windows against replacing them; storm windows can bridge the gap; see storm windows and energy upgrades. Newer homes are more likely to need foggy glass units or worn balances replaced than whole windows.

Open lots and wind

Homes on more open lots catch more of the winter wind, which finds every gap in older windows. Weatherstripping and caulking are cheap first steps, and a tight window lock that pulls the sashes together makes a real difference.

The New England circle

The Reverend David Bacon founded and organized Tallmadge in 1807, in what had been Town 2, Range 10 of the Connecticut Western Reserve. He laid out a square at the center where several roads met, modeled on New England town designs, and today's Tallmadge Circle still reflects that plan. Homes near the historic center may have original or older windows with character worth preserving, and replacement windows can be chosen with grilles and proportions that suit them; see double-hung windows.
