The three sets of windows here are in the same block in Frederick. I believe the houses were built around 1900 when turrets were in style. Some turrets are round, some octagonal or other shapes. The glass in the windows above is curved, while the others pictured here are flat The houses on this block are generally well maintained. Roofing repairs have been completed on several houses and other work is in progress. The last house shown needs work and is in fact for sale.

Interesting architecture. Thanks for sharing.
When I was growing up I wanted nothing more than to live in a house with a turret! Alas, our yellow brick ranch in suburbia didn't quite do it.
Fantastic shots! Love the windows. I know that it comes with a lot of history too. Very fascinating. :)
Windows teel a lot both about the building and the inhabtitants. Much history goes with it. I enjoyed theses.

It looks like San Francisco. Is it? It's beautiful :o)
I love turrets, and I never even thought about curved glass in windows, how silly of me
beautiful shots - I think the top is my favorite
Love your pics - these are great looking houses. When I see a house with a turret I wish I could see what it looks like from the inside!
Lew, wonderful turrets and windows! Glad you mentioned that the windows in the round turret are curved! :)
interesting architecture, and windows. See the view from this window
Interesting variety of turrets. I like that third one best.
These are such interesting window views! They've each got something a bit different about them and they all make me want a turret for my house :)
