According to Wikipedia, the windows were made by PPG Industries. They're still in business but don't make those windows anymore, and new windows would be noticeably different because of the thirty years of weathering on the old ones. Additionally, building codes have changed and the 1/4 inch uninsulated windows are not adequate anymore. Supposedly in summer 2010 they're replacing all 5600 windows with new ones that will have a bronze tint.
