Cranbury is one of NJ's best-preserved historic communities — 4,000 residents in a small Middlesex County township with a National Historic District covering the village center. Window work is overwhelmingly historic wood-sash restoration on Federal, Greek Revival, and Italianate landmarks under tight HPC review.
Material substitutions face high scrutiny — in-kind wood restoration is the reliably-approvable path.
