The variety of architectural styles and periods of construction within the Historic District provides a corresponding variation of window styles, types, and sizes.
Windows are a major character-defining feature on residential buildings.
They may occur in regular intervals or in asymmetrical patterns. A house may also have windows that are all the same size or have a variety of types and sizes that give emphasis to certain parts of the building. Historic buildings in the downtown commercial district are characterized by regularly spaced windows in their upper facade. These windows, in conjunction with their neighboring buildings, provide a pattern of openings in the wall of entire blocks. Windows in the front facade are often more decorative than the more utilitarian windows on side or rear elevations.
