Why are some of the windows in Vermont houses sideways?

It is not unusual, on old farmhouses, to see windows on an angle. Typically, these occur when someone added an addition onto an old farmhouse. The roofline of the addition is lower than the roofline of the original house. There will now be a doorway between a room in the original house and the addition, often where a window used to be. However, the old room no longer has a window and is very dark. Enterprising Vermonters would reuse the old window, on an angle, parallel to the new roofline. This would accomplish two things: Nothing would be wasted and the room would be lighter! This was before the invention of skylights! It is not unusual, on old farmhouses, to see windows on an angle.
