dwarf wall
Isaac Kremer/ January 14, 2018/ / 0 comments
A wall of less height than a full story, or which does not rise to the full height required for screening or protection, and, therefore, is often topped with a fence or railing. The Bahut, or low wall, which carries the external roof of a Gothic building and the eaves proper, is a dwarf wall. (Sturgis, 1900)
