Brownstones are urban townhomes made of a sandstone material composed mainly of sand-sized minerals or rock grains. These materials are clad in a brick, stucco, or a concrete derivative; then molded and colored creating an elegant stone sheath effect.
Many architectural elements constitute a Brownstone townhome. However, the feature attraction is its set of oriel bow front, or bay windows. The windows were created as a distinguishing feature to separate each individual townhome from its similar neighboring structure. Therefore, each set of windows on a Brownstone are uniquely shaped and surrounded by various cornice designs.
