closet view

Our neighbors staircase window as seen from our closet. 

We have the exact same window (yes, exact, even down to the stain colors) except the bottom pane is missing on ours. There are 5 houses in a row on our side of the street that were all built by a guy named J. Straus in 1899. As far as we know, he was the architect as well. 4 of the houses are near carbon copies except for the facades. 

Cookie cutter houses have been around much longer than most people think. The difference is the craftsmanship that is sorely missing in today's homes.
