The name 'quoin' is unfamiliar to most people. This is what you are looking at a detail of. Quoining typically refers to the corners of a building that refer to or are made of stone. Many Victorian homes utilize quoining at their corners to give visual strength to the building (despite the quoins typically being purely decorative and made of wood to replicate stone). This quoining is at the historic (and first) Bank of America building in San Francisco.
