Many older homes and especially historic homes in MN have window and door openings that are not standard to the industry today. Windows way back when served a different purpose than they do now. Back then the window played a much larger role -they were the homes only air conditioning. Cross ventilation and heat vents were the only way to cool a house down, especially in the kitchen where it got so unbearable hot.
These windows were typically taller, and narrower than they are today. The transoms around doors allowed hot air to rise, and escape through any opening it could find, and each of these openings were all just as unique as the houses that held them.
Finding a contemporary dealer that is able to provide these custom sizes without breaking the bank doesn’t have to be as hard as you may think. Larger window manufacturers like Pella or Owings-Corning carry a fairly large selection in stock, with many modern day conveniences that will give the homeowner form and function for the same price.
