Subject: [BP] cornice ....plain or peanut ?

Ok ok ....I don't mean to muddy the water

but .I recently drove by a guy in the Delta fabricating metal garden sheds;12x20

that had the upper facade curved and attatched like those in the old western towns;

you know hiding the roof line with a stand up decorative wooden wall

In the movies the saloon was basically a box yet it had this

decorative wooden wall above it

.....for what ?

adverising snake oil and baudy enertainment ?

however

In the western movies we see no advetisements;

yet were they not really just bill boards; or did the owner really want to pay

out of pocket for architectual decoration to add to the character of his fledgling cow town

in say Tombstone or Dodge ...need to know xoxPy .
