Report Available! Measuring Muntins: The First Steps in Creating a Chronoloy

Since June of 2025, we have been visiting properties around the Avalon to measure and profile muntin bars from historic wooden windows. We did this because wanted to know how the shape and size of the bars varied, and whether we could find patterns in their style.

In total, we recorded 42 muntin bars, and none of it would have been possible without the help and eagerness of the owners and caretakers who welcomed us to their properties. We want to give a BIG thank you to everyone involved who took the time to share the histories of their properties and their passion for preserving heritage.

In case you're wondering, yes, there was a pattern to the style of muntin's found around the Avalon.
