Depot-era openings behind a 62-building historic district
Garner's Downtown Historic District covers 62 contributing buildings developed roughly between 1883 and 1940, including the 1902 Garner Depot and the 1923 former Garner High School — all built with window openings sized well before any factory standard existed. Garner's position as a North Carolina Railroad station starting in 1847 is what put that building era on the map in the first place.
Matching new windows to a depot-era opening
A window project on one of Garner's historic-district buildings usually means working with a non-standard opening shaped by hand decades before factory sizing, while homes built after that 1883-1940 era use standardized modern openings. Measuring the actual opening before ordering avoids a mismatch tied to the building's actual construction period.
