We have a dark and narrow rowhouse in an historic district. My husband longs to blow out entire rear wall and install glass windows on at least the first level and hopefully all levels. He wants something more modern and clean that attached picture — that’s just to give you an idea.

Anyway, what are the chances we’d get permission? And would it cost more than, say, 30k per floor to take out all the masonry and build these in?

And how likely is it that entire 100 year old building will collapse or something (my fear)?
