Windows from an 1851 fort site to an 1893 city charter
Bartow's history runs back to 1851, when Redding Blount settled the site as Fort Blount — well before Polk County existed — and the historic neighborhoods that grew up around the 1867 courthouse site carry window stock from multiple distinct eras rather than one subdivision-standard build.
What that means for a window project
A window project on one of Bartow's historic-district properties should account for both the age of the opening and any local historic-preservation review that could apply to a civic-core property.
