www.familyhandyman.com/article/witch-windows"You can find so-called witch windows (AKA diagonal windows) on old New England farmhouses. The windows might seem to be architectural mistakes, but like other old home features, there’s a reason these windows exist.... You can put new first-floor windows on your addition, but there’s not enough room on the second-story end of the house to keep the existing windows. And if you don’t add new windows, it might be pretty dark up there. Why not reinstall your old window at an angle, the only way it will fit? That seems to be what many homeowners in parts of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine did!..." My notes: I have never been to the East Coast so have never seen windows like these. Did any of you know about this? I think it's quite fascinating!

I didn't know that...makes sense, though.
And, I haven't been to the East Coast...seen windows like that, but most likely in a movie :-)
