This means that we are not permitted to have storm doors or storm windows and are restricted by physical realities from fully insulating the abode. It is a magnificent pile! My office, however, is fully insulated and has storm windows and has a much lower heating bill. It was built in 1909 but is NOT in the Historic District: I was on the committee which drafted the Ordinance and made damned certain that my office building was outside of the District by a block.
