A canted oriel window in Lengerich, Germany. A bay window is a window space projecting outward from the main walls of a building and forming a bay in a room. It typically consists of a central windowpane, called a fixed sash, flanked by two or more smaller windows, known as casement or double-hung windows.
The flanking wings each have tripled sash windows. Some of the windows retain their original diamond-pane sashes. The interior of the house follows a center hall plan. [2] The house was built in 1928, and is a fairly typical example of Colonial Revival architecture built at that time. In 1966 it was purchased by Wilfred and Gertrude Johnson.
