From a recent article in The New York Times:
"The McIntyre Building is in the Ladies Mile Historic District. Its windows
are now painted black and Terri Rosen-Deutsch, Press Spokesperson for the
Landmarks Preservation Commission says that the agency will require the new
work to be painted with the original colors, determined by microscopic
examination. To judge from historic photographs, the original windows were
a light color, perhaps buff, matching the original limestone and light brick."
Any personal experience out there with this policy? Is it followed in every
case?
