About This Project

The 1912 Mt. Tabor Full Restoration project is a meticulous endeavor showcasing the rich architectural heritage of the Historic William Knighton Residence in Portland, OR. This restoration focused on the home's original and unique counter-balanced in-swing casement sash windows as well as traditional double-hung windows, which are integral to the property’s character. EPS was entrusted with the critical task of designing and constructing custom wooden storm windows, not only to enhance the aesthetic appeal but also to improve functionality and energy efficiency. The project involved a complete interior and exterior restoration of over 50 operable windows, with an emphasis on preserving the original craftsmanship while updating the home for modern living. The removal of visually disruptive vinyl storm windows was a significant step, allowing the authentic beauty of the original windows to shine through once again. Each sash was meticulously restored to its original working condition, ensuring that the homeowner could enjoy both historical charm and operational ease. In addition to the restoration efforts, the project included the design, construction, and installation of matching replica units specifically for the kitchen remodel. This attention to detail ensured that the new windows complemented the existing architecture, preserving the home’s integrity while enhancing its functionality. The custom operable wooden storm windows provide not only protection from the elements but also add a layer of elegance to the historic design. The outcome of the 1912 Mt. Tabor Full Restoration is a harmonious blend of history and modernity. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the restored sash to the newly designed storm windows, reflecting a commitment to quality and authenticity. This project stands as a testament to the importance of preserving historical architecture while adapting it for contemporary living, making it an exemplary model for future renovations.
