Help determining a word

so I've been trying to figure what the correct word (if any) there is for the decorative "moulding/lip/eave/sill" that is found on the roofs of buildings (left building in the picture below).

Anyone have a suggestion?

dentil cornice

(cornice is the name for the moulding, dentil is the name of that specific block pattern in your pic)

No problem. "Entablature" is only really found on Classical (greek / roman style) buildings with columns though, just so you know. Also it has to has a frise (sp?)

Yeah, the entablature is made up of a cornice, friese, and a architrave. Thanks again
