Repost:I decided to put a window on each gable end of the barn
 

I recycled some antique glass from a (former) window in the main house. The
cutout on the barn is a bit unconventional but I had to do it that way to
that I could install it as a single unit and not create a bad place for
rain to collect.

The back side of the frame is structural. It "connects" the sideing boards
which were severed by the window hole.

Still to come:

The cupola!

Beautiful job! I'm guessing that you aren't aware of the hassles to
come when they declare your place an historic site. :-)

Elegant solution. Now please step away from the barn and shoot one
more picture so we can see the entire gable wall...

Looking forward to seeing it. This is fun to watch!

It sure does look nice! I like the unconventional approach you took with it.
It gives it a whole new perspective.
