Question
We live in a 1934 English Tudor style cottage house that has a five foot high, two-foot wide brick wall extension with a large pedestal at the end. In the center of this pedestal is an original vintage lighting fixture.  I've been told that the extension feature has a unique architecutural name, and we're hoping you might know what it is.

Answer
Hi Steve,

I am at a loss of what this element is called, although I can picture what you mean. If I come across the answer in the next few weeks I will email you.
