This Old House - the 1850 Aitken/Totten/Stewart Home

Cool old feature #3 - ventilating locks.

All the windows in the house are single hung. I've been told they are actually replacement windows, but they're considered historic because they are probably about 100 years old. The windows in two of the bedrooms have these ventilating locks, which let you lock the windows at several different levels. They're all stamped with "Pat. Sept. 1902."
