1906 Washington Highschool Window Replacement

Reproducing historic wood windows for a SE Portland landmark.

Washington High School opened in 1906. Due to declining enrollment, the school closed in May of 1981. After sitting vacant for decades, the building was purchased by Venerable Properties and was converted to retail and office space by Bremik Construction. Arciform
constructed over 60 replica sash that feature double pane insulated glass and simulated divided lites to increase the building’s energy efficiency. Arciform modified the original window design to feature a fixed top sash and operable bottom sash in order to account for the additional weight of the insulated glass. These new sash were re-installed by Bremik into the original frames and re-connected to the existing weight and pulley systems.
