mlparham Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Great term. Can't wait to work this into a conversation over cocktails some evening. Thanks Jim! I got brickfaced and tripped on a crenelated scupper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think it's a flat roof with a crenelated cornice. Those aren't scuppers. It looks like there's a downspout coming from an interior drain or inlaid gutter arrangement behind the copper crenelations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Hockstein Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Attractive leaking built-in gutter system. "ALBIGS" for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
