Blindstory

/ˈblaɪndstɔri/ noun

Definition

A variant spelling of blindstorey; an architectural level or story without windows or with decorative false windows.

Etymology

American spelling variant of the British 'blindstorey,' using 'story' instead of 'storey,' from 'blind' plus 'story' (a building level).

Kelly Says

The difference between 'blindstory' and 'blindstorey' is just American versus British spelling—but it reminds us that architectural terms traveled differently across the Atlantic.
