Mike Lamb Posted November 20, 2017 Report Posted November 20, 2017 What would you call the lower and upper stone at this brick building? Stone façade? Stone relief? Upper stone crown? Stone band?
Mike Lamb Posted November 21, 2017 Author Report Posted November 21, 2017 Thanks. Entablature got me pointed in the right direction for searching. The stone protrusion at the top of the building is a cornice. The lower band of stone is a frieze. Entablature is pretty much the same thing but support is provided by columns.
Bill Kibbel Posted November 21, 2017 Report Posted November 21, 2017 Entablatures aren't always supported by columns. Pilasters (fake columns) and corbels/brackets are often used.
