I have all three Walthers Cornerstone structures on my layout. The skylights on the Walthers Cornerstone First Street Warehouse are clear plastic out of the box but larger than the clear plastic skylights on the Engineering Office and the Railway Express Agency (REA). The design of the skylight is the same on all three structures.
The Walthers Cornerstone Commissary/Freight Transfer, a background building kit, does not include skylights, although I have seen used kitbashed Commissary structures on eBay with the smaller skylights.

ndbprr They are the ones. Thank you
They are the ones. Thank you
ndbprr All four had the clear plastic sprue which included a four sided skylight part. Anybody have an idea what the original kit was that used this part?
Are these two square bits on top of the Front Street Warehouse the same skylights, only painted gray?

richhotrain ndbprr Four of the Walthers buildings had sprues of parts from other buildings leaving unused parts which is fine. All four had the clear plastic sprue which included a four sided skylight part. Anybody have an idea what the original kit was that used this part? None of the window sprues had a skylight window.

I used them on Bear's shop kit-bash...main roof.
Correction: The ones I used for Bear's roof are Not the same as the ones mentioned in Rich's post. The one's I used are long narrow one piece rectangle in shape. The ones in Rich's post buildings are short square piece's (4) in the plans.
Now I don't remember where mine came from. Had to be a cornerstone kit. I bought many cornerstone kits, for just a lot of the parts a number of times.
Take Care!

I do that in real life! 'Cept for the cafe. I may add a model of my 1/1 shop to my layout. It's made of about about 75% repurposed material . Dan
Sorry I cannot aswer your query, but I love the 'extra bits' in kits.
To the world you are someone. To someone you are the world
I cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought
Edit: I put down the wrong kit in my answer... looking for the correct kit.
OK... I know the part you are talking about. I have a few in my scrap box too. I looked at images of the Walthers Cornerstone kits that I have built, and none of them seem to use that part.
Sorry... I cannot help with this one.
During the pandemic I have been assembling several buildings for the railroad. Four of the Walthers buildings had sprues of parts from other buildings leaving unused parts which is fine. All four had the clear plastic sprue which included a four sided skylight part. Anybody have an idea what the original kit was that used this part? None of the window sprues had a skylight window. As an aside I did develop an easy way to make mortar lines. I used a damp 1/2" flat paint brush dipped into drywall compound which was painted on the walls at a 45 degree angle to fill vertical and horizontal joints at the same time. A consistency about like tomato soup is perfect. When dry it is very easy to clean off the excess with a paper towel.
