adding a floor and preserving the thingygummy?

Categories: Architects

Sorry I don’t know the name, The thing that runs along the front edge of most brownstones and townhouses, that looks like it is holding the sky up?

If you have a 3 story townhouse not in a landmarked district, with available FAR, is it practical to add a brick floor that matches the frontage, and to move the thingie to the new top? or is this so hard that it would be better to think about set-back extensions instead?
