A window structure (10) having an exterior side (12) and an interior side (14). The window structure (10) includes a stationary casing (22) closed by a movable sash (26) that is fastened to the stationary casing (22) in hinged relation. The stationary casing (22) has an exterior panel (28) located exterior to the sash (26) and extending over the sash (26) to overlap its periphery. A gasket (30) is fastened to the exterior panel (28) and faces interiorly, generally toward the sash (26). The sash has an exteriorly facing mounting surface (40), and a glazing support member (42) extends exteriorly therefrom. A window lite (46) is mounted in spaced relation to the mounting surface (40). The window lite (46) has an exterior surface (48) that engages the gasket (30) in sealing relation when the sash (26) is in its closed position and an interior surface (49) facing the mounting surface (40). A glazing channel (44) is defined by the window lite interior surface (49), the mounting surface (40), and the adjacent portion of the glazing support member (42), the glazing channel (44) opening toward the sash opening (39). A structural bonding member (54) extends within a selected portion of the glazing channel (44) adjacent to the sash opening (39), structurally engaging the interior surface (49) and the mounting surface (40).
