LL..I am not a whole lot of help to you but I think these pictures will say what you need to know...My Brooder house is over 100 years old...It has been extremely well maintained over the years, and must be kept up as this farm is on the National registry... I will show and hopefully explain one side at a time...
In this pic the side with the windows faces North.. hence what you were told is correct.. Every window used to open..Notice different heights..For night protection, they were closed but it was July 4th and hotter than all get out, and birds are dying.. Gotta fix that...so if you look reallllly close along the upper wall over the windows, you will see 6 foot sections that are hinged and raise up to again allow the air through....Mind you, this is about 1880...Notice wall facing you...It has a rolling door next to those shrubs...Inside that door is a handmade screen door that faces West...

Next pics coming...
