Victorian sash windows behind gingerbread trim
Ellerslie dates to 1828, and its clearest surviving Victorian-era structure is the 1891 Ellerslie Depot at Harris Road and Warm Springs Road — restored with its original ochre-yellow-and-green paint and ornamental gingerbread trim framing its windows. That decorative detailing is part of what makes matching a window replacement to the surrounding trim more involved than a plain modern opening.
What Victorian-era trim means for a window project
Older Ellerslie properties built in a style similar to the depot often carry the same ornamental window surrounds, and a window replacement on one of them needs to preserve or match that trim rather than just swap the glass and sash. That's a different scope than a straightforward factory-standard install.
