Living the San Francisco Dream

Calling all architecture buffs -- what type of window is this?

San Francisco is a fascinating city in which to walk. The geography is one factor--hills, staircases, twisty streets--but the architecture is another.

One style of window I see from time to time is this elegant one, which is the entry door to a residential building in the Pacific Heights neighborhood near Fillmore:

window style Pacific Heights SF

Here it is again, the upper windows of the middle building in the Marina district:

Who knows the name of this style?
