There is an old milkshed on the farm I just purchased. It was constructed out of concrete blocks with metal window frames, eight glasses to a frame. The frames have rusted out and need to be replaced. I have been unable to find a frame like them to replace them. They were placed into a channel in the blocks. Any ideas of what to do or where to find such windows. Any help would be very much appreciate!!

I built a new building and used glass bricks for windows. Excellent but not cheap.

Good way to do it as they'll let in light and hold in heat.
I worked at a company that was in a very old building and we had alot of windows that had been closed in with opaque plastic sheets that had about 1/4" space between the sheets filled with some sort of plastic wool or feathers. It looked pretty cool and held the heat in pretty well while allowing alot of the light through. Dunno about price but it seems like you could make your own for not so much money.

you can have vinal windows custom made to fit the hole or frame them in with lumber to fit whatever you can find. Ask around and try to find old wood house windows that you could make work if you want to save $

I would find some take outs or some new odds and ends at a lumber yard of a newer style double hung window. Than just take out the old ones and frame in the extra space and put in some new ones.

The windows that you are talking about, were sized according to even block sizes and were slid down into the slots when the top corse of block was laid up. The lintle was the installed and the wall was run up to the height required. The only way to remove these windows, is to destroy them. This is, I suppose, a plus, as they are of almost zip as a heat barrier. Find some new windows on sale and replace them. Your other choice would be to remove the glass, ( it is just held in with putty ), and sand blast the frames.

Try a company that primarily sells concrete blocks.They usually carry them.
