Name for windows that also serve as doors

I inspected a 5K SF sugar plantation house yesterday that was built in 1903. It was floated on a barge from Plaquemine, LA to St.Louis to be in the World's Fair, then brought back and sold in the same town. This house has windows with a feature I've see many times but never had a name for them. They're about 9 or 10 feet high (front elevation only). The lower jamb is at floor level and the lower sash opens high enough that a person can enter almost as easily as an entrance door. Anyone have a name for that? Thanks. It's for the report.
