A stepped gable, crow-stepped gable, or corbie step[1] is a stairstep type of design at the top of the triangular gable-end of a building.[1] The top of the parapet wall projects above the roofline and the top of the brick or stone wall is stacked in a step pattern above the roof as a decoration and as a convenient way to finish the brick courses. A stepped parapet may appear on building facades with or without gable ends, and even upon a false front.
