Bay Window

Casement Window
A window that opens by swinging inward or outward like a door.
Clapboard
More commonly known as siding. Long narrow boards overlapped to cover the outside wall.
Dormer
The setting for a vertical window in the roof. most often found in upstairs bedrooms.
Eaves
the portion of the roof that projects beyond the wall.
Fanlight
A semicircular or arched window above a door.
Palladian window
A three part window featuring a large arched center and flanking rectangular sidelights.
Pediment
A triangular crown used over doors, windows, or porches.
Portico
A large porch usually with a pedimented roof supported by classical columns or pillars.
Rafter
A roof beam sloping from the ridge to the wall. In most houses these are only visible from the attic.
Sidelights
