A decorative building unit simulating a multi-pane, window or door. The decorative building unit is comprised of a glass support frame and a single glass panel having an outer surface mounted on or in the glass support frame. The glass panel has at least one simulated joint comprising at least two shallow spaced apart parallel grooves formed in the outer surface of the glass panel and a platform formed between the two spaced grooves. The size and spacing of glass support frame simulated muntins and platforms is such that, when mounted together, the simulated muntins and platforms align with each other to simulate a multi-pane beveled glass window or door.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A decorative building unit simulating a multi-pane beveled glass window or door, comprising:a) a glass support frame comprising:a peripheral support frame having a pair of opposed spaced apart side walls and a pair of opposed spaced apart end walls, each side and end wall having an L-shaped cross-section;at least one simulated muntin extending between and attached to said pair of side walls and at least one simulated muntin extending between and attached to said pair of end walls;said L-shaped side and end walls forming a recessed region for receiving a glass panel;b) a first glass panel having an outer surface mounted in said recessed region, said first glass panel having a pair of spaced apart side edges and a pair of spaced apart end edges and corresponding in size and shape to said recessed region of said frame;at least one simulated joint formed in said outer surface and extending between said side edges of said first glass panel, and at least one simulated joint formed in said outer surface and extending between said end edges of said first glass panel;each of said simulated joints comprising:i) at least two shallow spaced apart parallel grooves formed in said outer surface;ii) a platform defined between said two spaced grooves;beveled regions formed in said outer surface of said first glass panel extending along each said side edge and each said end edge;each said beveled region comprising:i) a single shallow groove formed in said outer surface;ii) a platform defined between said groove and said edge of said glass panel;c) wherein the size and spacing of said simulated muntins and said grooves and platforms of said simulated joints are such that, when said first glass panel is received in said recessed region, said simulated muntins align with said platforms of said simulated joints to simulate the appearance of a multi-pane beveled glass window or door; andd) a means for securing said first glass panel in said frame.
