Making the last of the windows for my circa 1860's victorian house. I made the others around the house in 2017 when we fist bought the house, I left this window out because I was originally planning on putting a set of french doors here but changed my mind. According to google the design of the box sash window originates from 1670's London where buildings were so tightly packed together, a standard casement window which swings out may come into contact with neighbouring houses.
