I recently purchased an 1830 Victorian house and while cleaning the
attic to install insulation, a window was discovered. The window is
laying flat across the rafters in the middle of the attic. It is
attached to the rafters with a set of hinges so that it can be pulled
up straight (90 degree angle with the floor) as if it were on an outer
wall. There are no windows, no light source in the attic. Does anyone
have any idea what this might be for?

Thanks!

Well, if it's too hot in the attic, you can just open the window!
