Project Description: The five-story, 71,000 square-foot historic Beaux Arts building, constructed in 1925, was once the New England regional headquarters for International Harvester. The renovated building includes 2,200 square feet of ground-floor retail and 28,000 square feet of office space. The building features arched windows, highlighted by a fifty-foot bay window opening to the lobby, and eight-to-ten-foot-high windows on the main floor, providing abundant natural light for the building.

Project Challenge/Solution: Universal accessed our library of historic panning profiles to meticulously match the original moulding profiles shown on the old blueprints. The windows were mulled, and custom panning was attached in the factory. Arched triple-hung units were shipped factory-mulled with panning spanning across all three units.
