 | The windows are a significant feature of this Art Deco style courthouse. |
The New Deal era brought lasting change to Davidson County. The county gained a modernistic office landmark in the Davidson County Public Building and Courthouse (1936-38). Architects Emmons H. Woolwine of Nashville and Frederic C. Hirons of New York designed this preeminent example of the Public Works Administration-influenced Modern style in Middle Tennessee; the courthouse combined the offices of city and county government, thus the unusual name.
 | The steel windows included a combination of casement and hopper window types. All of the sash were removed and delivered to the Re-View restoration facility for repair, finishing, and glazing. |
Re-View performed the steel window restoration and installation for the project. A total of 1,072 sash were removed from the structure and delivered to the Re-View restoration facility. Each sash was blasted to remove all lead based paint and corrosion. The sash were treated with a rust inhibitive primer and finish coats. Re-View replaced the original single glazing with 3/8" insulated glass. Since much of the original hardware had been stolen or broken, Re-View cast new handles and locks. Gasket weather stripping was installed on all operating units to improve air infiltration. Re-View installed the sash into the frames onsite
