Believe it or not, glass is a liquid, and it moves VERY slowly. Over decades, perhaps more, the glass in windows will succumb to gravity and drip down to the bottom of the windows, pooling up there and making the lower parts of windows slightly thicker as time passes. The older the building is, the more irregularity you will find between the bottoms and tops of its windows. As far as architecture goes, you do not need to worry about the durability of the windows or anything of the sort because of this.

Why are old glass windows thicker at the bottom?
Old glass windows are thicker at the bottom because of the way they were made. During manufacturing, the glass panes were often placed vertically, causing the glass to flow down slightly due to gravity. Over time, this slight deformation led to the thicker bottom edge that we see in old glass windows.

Old glass windows may appear thicker at the bottom due to the effects of gravity over time.
