Sag Harbor was a whaling port, and the village that money built is still standing. The streets around the harbor hold a dense concentration of Federal and Greek Revival houses from the first half of the nineteenth century, set close together on narrow lots in a compact grid — a village built for a working port rather than for summer, which is why it looks nothing like the rest of the South Fork. The whole of that core is a historic district, and the rules are real. What that means practically is that a window here is judged on its proportions and its light pattern before anything else, and those were set by builders working to early nineteenth-century conventions: tall, narrow, many-paned, with thin muntins that modern manufacturing does not produce by default. The harbor adds salt and wind on top of it.
Work here starts with the light pattern and the muntin profile, because those are what the district is protecting and what makes these houses read correctly. We take sizes from the openings, match sash proportion to the original, and settle appearance before ordering. Access and staging are planned around the narrow lots. Salt exposure is specified for on every elevation, since none of them is far from the water.
We will look at the proportions and the pattern first, since in this village those decide what is possible.
