I see these windows often in the nicer victorian homes . The rooms are usually used for dining or TV now and that one high window is usually a mystery to the owners. I had an older client tell me the piano has always been under the piano window and since then an architectural historian confirmed. This figures as the piano was the only entertainment center of the period and the lighting was generally poor.The more windows the better. Great post.
