Newton is the Sussex County seat — about 8,000 residents centered around the historic courthouse green and Spring Street. The downtown is one of the better-preserved 19th-century commercial districts in northwest NJ, full of 1860s-1890s storefronts with original wood-frame transom windows that have been retrofitted poorly over the decades.
We work the Spring Street commercial corridor, the Sussex County Government complex, and the Greek Revival / Italianate / Queen Anne residences spreading out from the green. Newton's combination of historic district review and aging single-pane storefront glass makes it a steady source of careful retrofit work for us.
What We Work On in Newton
1860s-1890s commercial brick on Spring Street and around the courthouse green. Surrounding residential is heavy on Greek Revival and Italianate frame houses, with later Queen Annes east of town. Modest 1950s-1970s ranches and split-levels in the outskirts toward Andover and Hampton.

Newton's Historic District covers most of the central business district and adjacent residential streets. Exterior window changes typically require Historic Preservation review — we coordinate with the commission on replacement-in-kind work and source true-divided-light or restoration glass when needed.
