George Washington Looked Out of These Double Hung Wood Windows

An endless variety of design can be achieved with double hung wood windows. They are easily shaped and their surface receives and holds any type of finish.
On his wa^ through New England, Washington spent at least one night, and maybe more, in the upstairs bedroom to the right of the Palladian window. The four-poster in which he slept is still in use.
As you see, the double hung wood windows, in addition to providing more light and beauty, add considerable style to Sheldon House, now 196 years old. What other material can match the warmth and friendliness of wood? Also, wood's natural insulating qualities minimize moisture condensation.
Modern double hung wood windows have been greatly improved by the use of efficient spring sash balance and metal weatherstripping, making them really weather-tight and thrifty with utility bills.
There's no substitute for metal weatherstripped double hung wood windows. They fit naturally in the architectural or decorating scheme of any home. Also, they are easy to live with, easy to install, and easy to operate.
