Pullman Balances

Post by Sashguy »

Just completed an interesting one in the Eastwood Subdivision in Houston. The home was built in 1917 by Robert Wendt and Sons Construction and was outfitted with Pullman Balances on all windows when new. I run across quite a few that are aftermarket, but this is the first that I've seen with them originally installed. What really surprised me is that the size of the cases and attaching points have not changed in 100 years. Just popped out the old and installed the new. The strips had all been painted, so the reels were a bit sluggish, but all but 1/3rd of them were still somewhat operational.
