(Found) Old science fiction short story

[Soschka]

Trying to remember a science fiction short story I read in a 7th grade English textbook in 1975. About a boy who lived in a boarding house. A strange man rents a room who seems to be afraid of a stained glass window, maybe a transom? When the boy finds the window is broken, he picks up the shards and looks at the man through them. He can see “into” the man? That’s all I can remember. Thanks!

Could that be a Ray Bradbury story, "The Man Upstairs"?

That was it! Thanks! I really need to reread a lot of the old science fiction classics. Thanks for the welcome!

You could hardly be in a better online place if you’re looking for leads for reading the sf and fantasy classics. Would you like to say a little about your reading in those genres? The Classic SF & F area might be worth poking around in.
