When they built my house in 1947 they put a window in the bathroom
in that same location. By the time I bought the house, some previous
owner had changed it out for wavy glass block, which afforded a decent
amount of privacy, and added a three-season porch that encompassed
that window.
When we remodeled, we put in a large, fixed pane of glass flush with
the shower surround, finished the window cavity with shelving, added
colorful art glass pieces on the shelves, and put an openable window
(hinged on the side) on the porch. One of the windows (I can't recall
which) is frosted.
