It's cheaper to build without windows and safer in some areas. Some insurance is cheaper if the building is w/o windows.

ARCHECTITURE OF KINGDOM HALLS

A congregation I used to go to was needing a new hall (they had no parking at the old one), and was offered a historic landmark church from the city for $1. It was a beautiful old Presbyterian Church, and the city had obtained it somehow, and used it for awhile as local playhouse. After the the theatre group started using some other facility it was facing disuse. The congo wanted it, but they wanted to be able to alter the steeple (take down the cross I guess), or remove it outright. That would have ruined the look of the building, and due to its landmark status, it could not legally be altered that radically anyway.
so they didn't get a $1 Kingdom Hall.
