Old Dutch Gable
An old Dutch gable complete with old Dutch vrouw gazing miserably from the window. Albany County, New York, 1930’s.
The form of brick course on the gable is known as ‘mouse-tooth’ and is found primarily in Holland, East Anglia, and the Hudson Valley of New York, though also here and there in the American South.

Lovely, Andrew.
In England this is more often called “tumbling”, and the whole thing is called a “tumbled gable”.
