I had a major discovery in the attic at the farmhouse. I had been in the attic before but didn’t pay much attention to the pile of additional insulation in the corner. There under the pile was a window, the gable window. It measure 4 1/4 feet tall by almost three feet wide. The round window is about 18 inches in diameter.
For a long time, when looking at the house, I had suspected that there had, at one time, been a window in the gable and perhaps hidden beneath the vinyl siding that the previous owner installed. In time the vinyl siding will be removed to expose the original clapboard.
Upon my discovery I shot down to the local plumbing supply that bears the same name of the original owner of the farm. I explained what I found to the gentleman and he became quite excited about it.
