As architectural styles have shifted, architects and builders have invented more ways to build dormers, the little rooms that project from a roof and allow more space and light in the top floor or attic.
Wall dormers aren't surrounded by roof, as most dormers are. Instead, as their name implies, they rise from a wall. Except for this feature, though, they span the full range of dormer styles, from arched top to shed roof to hip roof. Wall dormers are found in houses of many styles, including Gothic Revival, Romanesque and Mission.
