It is a type of cornice I suppose. Or just call it gingerbread on the older houses---whatever--I like it. I bought some with hummingbirds to put on my porch corners once. MB
I think it is called a corbel(not sure of spelling. You might find more info. searching for carpenter gothic or painted lady houses. They always have a lot of gingerbread decoration. The Maine Historical Society in Portland, Maine would surely know. It is beautiful. As an expat Mainer, I do enjoy a bit of Maine on your blog. sues

ReplyDeleteI don't know what it's called either, but it's pretty! And it adds character to the house.
ReplyDeleteI can only say that this detail is a very nice one!
ReplyDeleteLove your wooden houses, so "American" to a French eye...
I really enjoy looking a architectural details like this decorated "bracket". The contrast of paint colors enhances the detail in the wood nicely.
