Spring time will be new facade time, and I’m thinking about what style of cornice to use. The 1939/40 tax photo for my house is hard to make out. I’d like to check out some houses that still have their originals. Any suggestions much appreciated (incl vague ones if all you can remember are the block and maybe the color of house — I’m happy to do a walking tour).

Also, any advice from people who have done this? I’ve noticed that some people go for a more modern/blocky and less ornate style. How did you come to that decision, and are you pleased with the result?

Thanks all.
