Historic homes in South Capitol
Not every historic South Capitol house is adobe, and the windows show it
This neighborhood mixes Territorial houses with brick-capped parapets, Pueblo Revival homes, and wood-frame cottages and bungalows that were stuccoed later. Each style has its own window language, and a good replacement or repair has to speak it.
Window details by house style
| Style | Typical windows | What we watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Territorial | Tall double-hungs with divided upper sash under painted wood trim | Keeping trim and pediments intact and the sash proportions true |
| Pueblo Revival | Casements and fixed lights set deep in thick walls | Preserving the deep setback and rounded plaster returns |
| Cottage and bungalow | Double-hungs, often grouped on the front | Matching groupings and the original opening sizes |
| Later stucco remodels | Mixed replacements from several eras | Restoring consistency where review allows |
When the historic district applies
Part of South Capitol is inside one of the city's historic districts. If your house is there, changes to windows and doors that the public can see may need review before work begins, regardless of whether the house is adobe, brick or frame.
We help you confirm your status, prepare photos and product information, and plan the project so nothing is ordered before the city responds.
South Capitol historic home questions
My house is brick, not adobe. Does historic review still apply?
If the house is inside the historic district, review is about the location and the building's status rather than the wall material. We can help you find out where yours stands.
Can the painted wood trim around my Territorial windows be kept?
In most cases, yes. We remove and protect trim where needed, or install new units inside it, and refinish only what's necessary.
Our bungalow was stuccoed decades ago. Should the windows match the original style or the stucco?
That depends on the house and any review that applies. Often a window that respects the original proportions looks right either way, and we'll show you a few options to compare.
