You may remember a post about mullion windows recently in which I explained that, for tax reasons, people removed the mullions and transoms from the windows to pay less tax. This window on Hôtel de Villebresme in Blois would seem to be an excellent example.
Vous vous rappelez peut-être d’un post concernant les fenêtres à meneaux dans lequel j’ai expliqué que pour des raisons fiscales, certains propriétaires enlevaient les meneaux afin de payer moins d’impôts. Il semble que celle-ci, sur l‘hôtel de Villebresme à Blois est un excellent exemple.

There seem to be ways in the Netherlands to get around the tax issue like that as well.
William, what do they do in the Netherlands?
Bleh! Really ugly solution, isn’t it? Such a shame.
Yes, it’s awful. I am starting to really notice them now!
