'We have to do everything following guidelines and standards to make sure it's historically accurate, and a couple of the cases we'll be doing full replacement, and those will be historically correct windows based on all the original specs for the mansion, so that's something that's really important to us,' said Caleb Pifer, executive director of the Hagen History Center.
Pifer said it should take them roughly a month to complete, and they will remain open during construction.
