The Boston Charles Street Jail has been renovated into a posh hotel in the center of the city. A part of maintaining and updating this historic building was ensuring the windows kept their historical significance while ensuring better thermal performance. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>

\n<\/strong>When baseball superstar Babe Ruth toured Boston\u2019s Charles Street Jail in 1925, he famously quipped: \u201cThis isn\u2019t a jail, it\u2019s a hotel\u201d\u2014a prophecy that has since come true. Now known as the Liberty Hotel, this 298-room, high-end hospitality destination retains its architectural heritage with its famed rotunda, jail-themed bars and restaurants, and its historically accurate replacement windows.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur area is filled with historic properties that have old steel-framed, single-pane windows, and the Liberty\u2019s new windows carefully mimic the sightlines, true divided lites, and arched tops of these original windows, and bring the high performance of modern aluminum frames and low-emissivity (low-e) glass,\u201d described Dan Cherney, an architectural sales representative with the glazing company. \u201cLittle did the 19th<\/sup>-century prisoners at Charles Street know, they were resting on what would become $500 per night space in a prime city location.\u201d<\/p>\n

From 1851 to 1990, the list of those housed by Charles Street Jail included former Boston mayor (and later Massachusetts governor) James Michael Curley, Malcolm X, and Sacco and Vanzetti.<\/p>\n

The building \u201cresonated with a strength and dignity appropriate for the era, and for Bostonians\u2019 sensibilities,\u201d said historians. Architect Gridley James Fox Bryant\u2014widely considered Boston\u2019s most accomplished architect of the 19th<\/sup> century\u2014designed the original penitentiary. A proponent of the \u2018Granite Style,\u2019 he embraced the many technological and social changes of the age, forming strategic partnerships with other architects and reformers. On the Charles Street Jail, he collaborated with Rev. Louis Dwight\u2014a prominent Yale-educated penologist with an active interest in and advocacy for prison reform.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is fame in architecture in these latter days?\u201d Bryant wrote toward the end of his life. \u201cIs it to witness the demolition of radical remodeling of an architect\u2019s work, with less than a century of its real usefulness about it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Through restoration, reuse, and reinvention, this abandoned structure was reborn as a vital commercial development that complements the urban fabric of its Beacon Hill neighborhood. With respect to Bryant\u2019s intention and inspired by his progressive vision of the future, Cambridge Seven Associates worked with preservation architect Ann Beha Architects (ABA), and developers Carpenter & Company in the early 2000s to reimagine the property as an exclusive hotel and hospitality venue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most sustainable project is one that improves on what\u2019s already built,\u201d Cherney said. Thoughtful, historic renovation achieves high standards for technical and operational performance, preserves character-defining features, while successfully meeting the needs of the users now and long into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

To match exact, historic details, the new windows for the space include true divided lites and custom-machined grilles to honor the landmark structures in which they are installed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the years prior to World War II, glass-making technology limited the size of individual glass lites. Only true divided lites can reproduce this aesthetic with the fidelity required for rigorous historical preservation,\u201d explained Cherney.<\/p>\n

Thermal barrier framing contributes to the building\u2019s energy-saving goals and condensation resistance.<\/p>\n

Before dependable artificial lighting and indoor climate control was available, architects used\u00a0natural daylighting and ventilation features such as high ceilings and tall windows. As today\u2019s insulating glass is more than twice as heavy as the original single glazing, ease of operation also becomes a concern. Stretched to the limits of weight and vertical travel, commercially available balances can exhibit durability and safety issues.<\/p>\n

Careful review of oversized replacement window choices also must include hardware selection. Factors such as size, sill height, meeting rail location, window treatments, screens, and window well depth can dictate awnings versus hoppers or in-swing versus out-swing casement vents, and self-balancing double-hung windows or simulated double-hung projected windows.<\/p>\n

\u201cReplication is about the entire opening, not just the window. The product must be easy to install and anchor correctly,\u201d advised Cherney. \u201cAppropriate sills and trim must be provided to complete the window and blend it seamlessly with the opening and the building itself. If a window doesn\u2019t do all these things, it\u2019s simply not measuring up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The key logistical decision faced by the window replacement contractor is whether to leave existing window frames in place, or do a complete \u2018tear-out\u2019 and start again. Removal of existing operable sash, while leaving existing window framing in place, usually makes for a much faster installation process and minimizes disruption to occupants. The existing frames are used as anchorage points, and an extruded aluminum sub-frame or \u2018panning\u2019 system lines the opening.<\/p>\n

If a tear-out of existing frames is the path chosen, perimeter protection is often required in occupied spaces and the process is considerably slowed. Caution must be exercised in determining what concealed wall materials may be disturbed. For major renovation projects, installation of in-situ samples is highly recommended. Custom profiles can be designed for panning, perimeter framing, or muntins\u2014including panning systems with T-mullions to echo existing profiles. These aluminum components may be specified with recycled content and finished with liquid paint, powder coatings, or anodize.<\/p>\n

Where conservators can sample complete stratigraphies, and original colors are unlikely to have degraded, durable fluropolymer paints can be custom-formulated to meet conservators\u2019 goals for authenticity\u2014not only for exterior colors, but also in lobbies, entrance vestibules, corridors, auditoriums, libraries, and other interior public spaces.<\/p>\n

In addition to maintaining much of its historic structure and aesthetic, the Liberty Hotel\u2019s previous function continues in theme with a restaurant called Clink, a bar in the jail\u2019s former \u2018drunk tank\u2019 called Alibi, and The Yard\u2014a private patio for summer cocktails.<\/p>\n

Reopened in the summer of 2007, the Liberty is now owned by the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.<\/p>\n
