what do you all make of this. I'm gonna say they did it because they could.

Looks really good to me, a bit like pine cones. Always like to see new ideas, too many people just stick to the standard stuff nowadays. That's what I like about the old stately homes when the owners had money to burn and the tradesmen who could do anything the mad upper classes could think of.

That's actually the well-known stegosaurawall technique; been around for eons. Nice to see one so well preserved.

We have a good amount of that around here. I like it. It gives it a cool twist.

where I do some work is the surounding philly suburbs. about 10-20 miles out. I havent seen this style at all in such great shape. I should have taken some close ups because I wasnt able to identify any patch work. alot of the estate walls are capped this way around here, but this a first for me. I'm guessing from the replies so far this is seen alot in pa?

Steve, I see that a lot around here as well. The sea wall in Plymouth harbor has that as a cap. I never liked the look myself. It’s one way to ensure no one will sit on the wall I guess?

Georga?...maybe? Kinda looks like a Porcupine. But sad to say, i too, have seen them lurking about the Philly 'burbs.There really should be more palm trees around.
