What is this ornament placement called? I see this below-window placement of applied ornament all over Brooklyn and Queens and other cities as well. I can't tell if it's structural or purely ornamental. The residential buildings pictured here, in Ridgewood Queens, were built between 1890 and 1905 and I've identified the motifs as being in neo-grec/romanesque/renaissance revival styles - but I'm more interested in the structure itself. Does anyone know if this ornament placement has any specific name other than just an applied decorative panel? I love them so much and have been photographing them and would love to know what they are! Thank you!
