Get this --- it is actually proposed that the outside windows have muntins but no glass! The building is question has been on the National Register for almost 25 years, and the non-profit developer is planning to use preservation tax credits. Would someone please also kindly copy this message onto the NTHP Forum listserve! Thanks a million. Thomas Palmer Galion Area Renaissance Foundation Galion, Ohio [log in to unmask]
