Yeah, head house usually applies to the structure housing the lifting equipment for an elevator, often used in conjunction with a mine.
I wonder if maybe Tom was thinking of a clerestory, such as on the structures below?

Many steel mill structures used clerestories, often without windows, but open year-round, to allow smoke and fumes to escape. Almost all of the processes involved in steelmaking generate a lot of heat and a lot of smoke and fumes, too. A good compromise for a brick structure such as Tom's would be to add a continuous clerestory with louvered sides. These could be constructed of strip styrene or, for a simpler job, commercial clapboard siding, in a large width, as offered by Evergreen. A little shaded weathering will make them appear partially open.
