Everybody's taking out their measuring tapes to see who's got the biggest "vocabulary"!

Under an architectural site with architectural terms, I got this:

_______________________________________________________________________________________


CLASSIC AND GREEK REVIVAL c. 1830s-1860s

"decorative classical features include dentils, return eaves, pilasters, flat or pedimented hoods over windows"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Architect's Forum/Discussion Group, same term:

Re: Gable End Eave Return
If I am understanding you correctly I believe this is often called a "pork chop" you may do a search here and at AUGI with this term. If this is indeed what you are talking about AUGI members have access to AU 2005 materials, via AUGI, and there is a great how-to on this exact item.

That title swings both ways...

Googled "eave return" and got this...

Elbow

Forearm

Cocked Arm

An eye brow I thought was a curved dormer over a round or oval window. Guess it all depends on where you come from.

Same here for what an "eyebrow" is.

(N.E.)

Depending on the shingling detail:

"Eave return: a roof edge that makes an acute inward turn for a short distance on the gable end of a building. This is a decorative element of the Greek revival style."

However they may not be shingled, just trim.

5. The next official stop on the tour is 303 N. Huron.

This person calls it an eyebrow return.

http://www.dlnhs.org/douglastonhill/dhbldgsurvey.cfm
This calls it a cornice return or shingled cornice return if shingled.

And a full eave return if the shingled portion extends all the way across the gabel end.

Ed,

It's referred to as an "Eave Return" architectually speaking.

"Eave return:
a roof edge that makes an acute inward turn for a short distance on the gable end of a building.
This is a decorative element of the Greek revival style."

It may have a technical term but I've always called them "returns" or return fascias.

Yup. Returns here too (N.E.).
