Among the more pretentious countryseats and city residences having
twelve-paned upper and lower sashes on both the first and second stories
may be mentioned Cliveden, Stenton, Loudoun, Woodford, Whitby Hall, the
Morris house, the Perot-Morris house, Chalkley Hall and Port Royal House
in Frankford.

Twelve-paned sashes were also used in various ways in combination with
six, eight and nine paned sashes. For example, the Waln house, Number
254 South Second Street, has twelve-paned upper and lower sashes on the
first story with six-paned upper and lower sashes on the second story,
whereas Mount Pleasant has the reverse arrangement. Laurel Hill, in the
Northern Liberties, Fairmount Park, has twelve-paned upper and lower
sashes on the first story and eight-paned upper and lower sashes on the
second story, whereas the Billmeyer house has all twelve-paned sashes
except the lower ones on the second story, which are eight-paned. Wyck,
consisting as it does of two buildings joined together, probably has the
most heterogeneous fenestration of any house in Philadelphia. On the
first floor are windows having nine-paned lower and six-paned upper
sashes, while on the second story are windows having twelve-paned lower
and eight-paned upper sashes and others having six-paned upper and lower
sashes. The Free Quakers' Meeting House at Fifth and Arch streets has
twelve-paned upper and lower sashes on the first story and eight-paned
upper and twelve-paned lower sashes on the second floor.

To reduce their apparent height, three-story houses were foreshortened
with square windows. Two-piece sashes were used, and the number of panes
differed considerably. While a like number in both upper and lower
sashes was the rule, the Blackwell house, Number 224 Pine Street, and
the Powel house, Number 244 South Third Street, are notable instances of
foreshortened windows having three-paned upper and six-paned lower
sashes. The Wharton house, Number 336 Spruce Street, and the Evans
house, Number 322 De Lancy Street, have foreshortened windows with
six-paned upper and lower sashes. The Waln house, Number 254 South
Second Street, the Stocker house, Number 404 South Front Street, and
Pen Rhyn in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, have
