Greek Revival openings older than the mill towns nearby
Dallas anchored Gaston County government from 1846 to 1911, centered on the 1848 Greek Revival courthouse that Jesse Holland donated 75 acres to site — a courthouse whose foundation and brick walls survived an 1874 fire intact. That Greek Revival civic architecture, along with the 19th-century residential construction that grew up around the courthouse square, predates the textile-mill housing boom that shaped most of the county's other towns by decades.
Why that earlier architectural period changes a window job
Greek Revival and other pre-1900 window openings around Dallas's historic courthouse square were proportioned differently than the early-1900s mill-worker housing common elsewhere in the county — typically taller, narrower openings suited to that architectural style. Confirming whether a property dates to the pre-1911 courthouse-town period, rather than assuming standard mill-era sizing, changes what a window estimate should account for.

Details worth sharing upfront
Note the home's architectural style or approximate age if known, how many openings are involved, any prior window work, and access constraints for installers. Confirm licensing and insurance directly, since provider availability varies.
Historic-district context
The Dallas Historic District, centered on the restored 1848 courthouse, is a federally recognized National Register site — a useful reference point when researching original window proportions for a property from that earlier architectural period.
