I am pretty sure that is not called a 'scallop'. I just cannot remember the name of trim that looks like that. I am not going to call it 'trim' so no sense suggesting that.

Who can help?

Architectural feature question _ Dave

> Looks like a corbel.

It sure does, but I believe a corbel is a single ornament and does not extend along the entire face of a building.

Cornice molding or brick molding (which I doubt in LA) or it could be a mantle if big enough. So sez my bro who is an architect.

It's a "cornice"........

...which in architecture is defined as "any prominent, continuous, horizontally projecting feature surmounting a wall or other construction, or dividing it horizontally for compositional purposes."
