An elongated glazing element having an outer wall spaced outwardly of the outer wall of the inside member is provided to form one or more glazing pockets on laterally opposite sides of the mullion for receiving the edge portions of the glazing panels. The glazing element includes a tongue extending inwardly from the outer wall toward the recess in the inside vertical structural member. Fastening means is provided for securing the outside glazing element and the inside structural member together from the inside of the building and includes insulating spacer blocks seated in the recess and extending into a groove in the tongue of the glazing member with the sealed fasteners. The glazing panels are installed from the inside and are secured with their edge portions in the glazing pockets formed by the assembly of the inside member and the glazing element of the mullions.
