It is interesting to note 
that in these old houses in 
Oxfordshire, England, the 
quoins continue upward 
from the rustication about 
the doors and windows of 
the ground floor masonry 
In Ihis^ tcrrqce front of an 
Englishxdimtry house by 
Sir Ediwin ' Lutyens the 
red bricEquoins serve an 
obvious : decorative pur¬ 
pose. - They emphasize 
the niche and blank wall 
A priest’s house at Viro- 
Jlay, France. These quoins 
of equal lengths are con¬ 
structed of stucco like the 
walls. They give an ap¬ 
pearance of firmness to 
the cornice and corner 
An old shop in Gloucester, England. The white 
quoins, in sharp contrast with the red brick, not 
only define the projection of the central bay, but, 
along with the white keystones, white architraves, 
white cornice and white balustrades, give 
liveliness to a really simple building
