Stoop Entry Awning?

When we bought our house the first thing we did was remove the tacky vinyl awning that had been installed above the garden level entry. Six months later we find ourselves trying to figure out how to keep rain from flooding the under stoop vestibule. What do other people do? We are at the point where we are considering a glass awning of some type but are fearful of it looking tacky. Most Brownstones do not have awnings, so we must be missing something. Please help!
