King Ave & Northwest Blvd. If you're in Columbus and have a good DIY project in mind, that's where you can find this large jumble of old windows.
They're not in the best shape (why else would they be replaced on the house) but they come in a multitude of sizes and there's even some with leaded glass.
Our Ohio host grabbed a bunch because she's got a project in mind but jump down to see how we put one to work immediately.
Our host lives in a duplex apartment with a teeny tiny back porch and a half wall that divides the two units. Luckily, one of the windows was the perfect size to hang just above the wall. Now the porch feels a bit more private but the neighbors (and sunlight) aren't completely blocked out.

I just have to say that although these windows appear to be in a ruinous condition with a little work they could be very functional and would be much better than any new replacement window.
Old windows are made with old growth wood which cannot be found now. Simple repair to the wood through consolidation chemicals and then reglazing the windows could have made these windows last another 100 years.
I just wanted to point out that these windows are not bad and that the window replacement companies out there are there to sell just that - window replacements - wherein you must continue to REPLACE them. Old windows can be repaired and will last much longer. This is one of the best efforts towards GREEN energy out there.
It's great that someone has picked them up to be used for another project and will not just go to the landfill.
