This lovely little window was spotted on the side of an Annex neighbourhood home. This type of bay window is called an oriel window and it looks as if this one may be on a stairway to provide some light on the stairs. When I took the pic there appeared to be a vase of white roses sitting in the window which must have been lovely from inside.

Nice one and a new architectural name for me.

I love this! Isn't it great to find these little architectural touches that add so much charm to a building?
Whatever its purpose, it is a seriously nice bit of architecture.
What a lovely window to the world!
I've never seen such a small oriel window before; it's rather charming (and the sort of feature that makes a house very saleable!).
Nothing escapes your eyes Pat. You are always on the look out.
Very pretty!
Have a great day!
I love it, very pretty!
It is beautiful.
That's a new term to me.
A lovey architectural detail. Did not know they were called Oriel windows.
Used to be a quite common architectural feature, especially in the days before electricity.
Yes, elegant and pretty!
This is a lovely window.
Hello,
It is a beautiful window, I would like to see how it looks on the inside too. Take care, enjoy your day!
Isn't that interesting! They don't make them like that anymore!
Oh that's a lovely detail Pat, looks so nice on the outside and I bet from the inside also 💙
Es preciosa ventana. Buen giusto del dueño.
CuÃdate.
Un abrazo.
