Arts & Crafts Storm Window
Categories:

This is a storm window we found in our basement. It may be original to the house. Sadly it's the only one, but we feel pretty lucky to have found it at all. Behind the window are two interior doors that were removed from the hallway and between the kitchen and dining room.

Historic Storm Windows
This is not your mother's storm window! Before the aluminum triple track storm window us young'uns know was invented, they used wood storm windows like this to help conserve heat during winter. They had to be manually put in place each fall and they stayed there until spring when they were taken down. This one has true divided lites, which means that the wood muntins are actually structural - they support the individual panes. Thanks for sharing, Kelli!
