<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4em; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 14px">Built in 1933, the four-story Owens-Adair building in Astoria was converted around 1980 to 46 residential units for seniors and the disabled by the Clatsop County Housing Authority. By 2010, the building was showing its age with most of its more than 250 windows in poor shape. The windows were leaking air and were a safety hazard. One tenant had broken her arm when she opened a window and it fell on her. Something had to be done.</P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4em; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 14px">Initially, the Housing Authority asked the City for approval to replace all of the original windows. After further inspection, though, the windows appeared repairable. The Housing Authority agreed to work with city staff and the <A style="COLOR: #2585b2; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.oregonheritage.org/OPRD/HCD/SHPO/index.shtml">State Historic Preservation Office</A> to find an alternative solution to replacing the windows.</P>

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4em; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 14px">The Housing Authority sought bids for both replacement and repair of windows. One estimate for replacing the windows totaled $680,000. <A style="COLOR: #2585b2; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="http://www.chosenwwm.com/">Chosen Wood Windows</A>, however, estimated it could repair the original windows and install double-paned insulating glass for only $259,000 -- a savings of over $400,000. Not surprisingly, the Housing Authority decided to repair the windows.</P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: 1.4em; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; COLOR: #444444; FONT-SIZE: 14px">Restoring the windows met everyone’s expectations. Workers caused little disruption during the renovation and followed appropriate health and safety standards. With its original windows repaired, the Owens-Adair saved over $1,000 in heating costs in the first month alone. But more importantly, residents can now easily -- and safely -- open and close their own windows.</P>
