One of the classic styles in building mouldings is frequently miscalled  "dental".  It is relatively easy to understand why ...because it looks like its name (toothlike), but it is spelled like its' latin roots. Den is "tooth" in latin and the moulding is characterized by a square mold with spaces in between them, similar  to a characterization of teeth. Usually found below a cornice, it is considered a classic style in architecture and is documented on the grave of Darius from 500BC! Having long admired the classic architecture I am thrilled to highlight a new listing with exquisite dentil moulding in the living and dining rooms. The picture above, highlights this style found at 4 Laurel St. Beverly MA. The picture belows shows off more of the architectural detail found in this pretty house including unique built ins.
