What's behind the upper porch panels?

Windows!!

The front of the house is a porch, but from the street it looks very closed off. From inside the porch - which the previous family had converted to a family room - the space begs for more light and air. In other words, it should be a porch.

So Don pulled off a horizontal panel along the top of the porch, and we found  a window. It's been painted, but it's a window!! We are excited about this, as We are on our way to an improved porch!!

Here's Don with the painted window, partly scraped clean.

Current view of front of house. Wouldn't it look better with the panels opened up as windows?
