(...) Thanks for the compliment. I just looked at Brickshelf & saw the other cornice. Very impressive. I think I'll be borrowing it at some point. The dark grey seems to mellow out the bright green nicely. great job. Jonathan (23 years ago, 9-Jan-02, to lugnet.town, lugnet.build.arch)

(...) Ya, John's got some good ones. If you want masonry buildings from about 1850 to about 1950 or so, you gotta have those cornices... they're a defining feature of US cities, or so it seems.
