I always find it interesting when I find an architectural detail I can't put a name to. A lot of the facades in downtown Geneva have this kind of window treatment - plate glass below and leaded glass whats . . . transoms?

Lots of Upstate NY architecture is about getting more natural light into places - hence this kind of thing and oriel windows everywhere.
