Series of multiple exposures taken at even intervals are used for tone mapping/exposure blending algorithms. I use Enfuse, details of which are available: http://enblend.sourceforge.net/enfuse_details.htm
Tone mapping/exposure blending is a useful tool, but has its limitations. In this case, I found it good for preserving a wide range of detail in this window, which was evenly illuminated but had elements with widely varying transmittivity. It's also capable of producing cartoonish results like these:

Conversely, the following picture of Altgeld Hall is a single exposure, post-processed for color adjustment, contrast, and noise reduction:
