THE BAY WINDOW 
AN ARCHITECTURAL 
LEGACY/row ENGLAND 
The front rooms of 
these English cottages 
at Broadway, Wor¬ 
cestershire, are in¬ 
creased in area and 
light by the bays a- 
longside the doors be¬ 
neath a long pent roof 
In the center picture, 
taken in the west of 
England, the small¬ 
ness of the bay win¬ 
dow gives no idea of 
the amount of cheer- 
fid sunlight it admits 
to the interior within 
This corbelled type of bay is, through 
precedent, in character with the house 
of half-timber construction. Moot 
Hall, in Sudbury, Suffolk, furnishes 
this fine and authentic English example 
The two-story type of bay not only 
adds to the interest and dignity of the 
exterior, but makes for peculiar grace 
and distinction within, as well as for 
added light. This is at Clifton, England
