The first glass window was made in the Roman times! == ==
Primitive windows were just holes in a wall. Later, windows were covered with animal hide, cloth, or wood. The Romans were the first to use glass for windows. In Alexandria ca. 100 AD, cast glass windows, albeit with poor optical properties, began to appear. The Romans has stained glass objects but stained glass windows were not made until around 800AD This came from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stained_glass#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_stained_glass
The development of the Gothic architectural style in the 12th century made large stained glass windows possible. Builders utilized ribbed vaults and flying buttresses, which allowed for taller structures and distributed weight more effectively. This innovation enabled the inclusion of expansive, intricate stained glass windows that filled churches and cathedrals with light and color, enhancing the spiritual experience.
In the Old West, windows were typically made using wooden frames that held panes of glass. The glass was often small and rectangular, as larger panes were expensive and more difficult to transport. Some windows were covered with oiled paper or fabric as a cheaper alternative to glass, providing light while protecting against the elements. The construction methods were simple, reflecting the available materials and the practical needs of settlers.
Many of the old homes did not have glass in the windows and used shutters instead when they needed protection from the elements.

Surprises me how humans want to fly to Mars and how they "made" it to the Moon, yet they don't know when sheet glass was first used for house windows and what was used for windows before glass was used. I bet "Americans" have no clue....
