Quoins are the corner stones of brick or stone walls. Quoins may be structural, or may be decorative. Architects and builders use quoins to give the impression of strength and firmness to the outline of a building. Quoinage can be carried out in stone on a stone building, with stone on a predominantly brick building giving the building an appearance of blocks at the corner. The most common form of decorative use for a quoins uses an alternative pattern of rectangles that wrap around the wall, mimicking the pattern of stone blocks or brick as they would wrap around a corner and thus join the two walls.
