Camden Windows was asked to replicate the historic wood windows at Little Hall, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey.Little Hall and Blair Hall are the largerst student dorms on Princeton Campus. There are 650 double hung true divided leaded lite windows. Camden Windows designed an integral interior wood energy panel that sits in the sash behind the leaded glass. The original beauty and character of the building is not compromised. An interior wood screen is part of the design. The replacement windows are true to the original.

Camden Windows is often asked to consult with architects on the restoration and replication of wood windows for historic buildings. Whenever possible, we reccomend that true divided light be utilized because of the beauty of the glass. This photo and pictures of Little Hall is after the restoration process. Every window was manufactured and replaced by Camden Windows. The work speaks for itself.

This is an interior view of the windows. The interior was prefinished in the factory and the interior energy panel is almost undetectable from the inside and is undetectable from the exterior. There will never be a failed piece of insulated glass. Notice that there are tqo catches on this casement window. One catch is for the sash and the innermost catch is for an operational side hung wooden screen.
