basement window
Below-ground glass opening
A basement window is a window set into a basement wall, typically at or below ground level.
These windows are often smaller than standard windows and may sit in a window well—a recessed area dug out around the window to allow light in and provide emergency egress.
The basement windows let in just enough light to work by.
