This week, a long-vacant building at 107 Buffalo St. in downtown Johnson City took another step toward revitalization.
Bill Donoho, one of the owners of Artistry in Glass in Limestone, has reinstalled several old windows â previously caked with paint on both sides â on the buildingâs facade.
Employees stripped the paint off the windows and replaced the deteriorating metal framework holding the glass in place.
âIt was totally rebuilt as if it was new,â Donoho said. âThe only thing that we reused was the glass.â
Donoho removed the windows in November 2019. The nature of the work plus the fact that Artistry in Glass is a small shop meant it took some time to get the windows ready to reinstall.
