I have never seen a pocket window.
But this is a difficult location for a window. With all the heat from a stove, and moisture from boiling water, etc, it'll be tough for a window to survive very long. Not to mention all the splashed on food that will need to be cleaned off on a regular basis, as it will become the backsplash.
I'd recommend putting the windows to either side of the stove instead, but that's just my opinion.

Check with your loacl AHJ. Many places do not allow operable windows above a stove.

My 1911 house has a bank of three windows that slide into the wall below to open. They are on the back of the house in the kitchen. I am looking forward to sliding them all the way down when we have a garden party. These windows employ the douple hung concept. This particular mechanism may not work as well for side sliders. Good luck.

I have 4 of these windows in my 1924 home they need to be repaired but I don't know what they are called

Glenda, post a picture in a new thread. Someone will offer some advice.

I also have a sliding window in my 1949 home. I was told it was a feature of many Alfred Browning Parker homes.

This is an old thread but I will answer it anyway in case some one else is in the same boat. The windows are called Down sash windows. They were used in street cars, passenger train cars and houses. from about 1870 to the mid 1900's. The train and street car windows were small, about 16"x16", quite light so the need of a balance weight was not really necessary they just had a leather strap attached to the bottom of the window that would allow a person to push the window down against friction from the side sash or leather runner between the window sash and the frame it rides in then use the strap to pick it back up again.

Today how ever I think the windows could be easily fashioned with a small electric motor turning a threaded rod attached to the bottom of the window to power it up and down. Some Teflon strips could be used as seals and sliders on the sides.

Thanks to those that posted comments all of these years later, as I just came on here to inquire about "pocket windows", vs the folding options that are hot right now. I was hoping for comments from folks that have installed something like this recently. Who knew they had such a nifty option in the 20's! Seems window manufacturers are bringing options back! I don't want the protrusion of the folding style, and prefer minimal dividers.

My application is to create a pass-through window at my kitchen sink, where we will have a bar top on the other side. On my hunt, I have found a few options that will slide right into the wall. You can do this with a single track and 2 or 3 tracks (if you have enough space in your wall). I have a 1965 mid-mod ranch, and the walls are 2x4, and multiple tracks require thicker walls which is not an option for my space. Thankfully, I have enough space to the left side to pocket a 60" wide window and go with a single track. Still vetting this with our contractor if it will work, but so far we think it will!

I am considering the Anderson MultiGlide: https://www.andersenwindows.com/windows-and-doors/windows/pass-through-windows/

I just found another manufacturer of the same concept, just looking into them now:

Hope this helps others! If you have installed something like this or have additional ideas, I am still in decision mode, so don't hesitate to share!

I would steer clear of anything SP if it were me.
