Re: what do you call
Framers in this area call it a "bird box", but box cornice sounds better on a report, unless I guess, your client is a framer from this area  |

Re: what do you call
"bird box" is the term I learned when I was building houses in GA. That may be a regional term.

Re: what do you call
It's "bird box" here also...but I learned that from framers...
I think "boxed end of soffitt" or "enclosed soffitt end" would work for most folks.

Re: what do you call
It is also called a "Corner return".
This website might help with some terms.
Building Construction & Finishing
Most of this information comes from a book called "Modern Carpentry" by Willis H. Wagner & Howard Bud Smith, 2003. ISBN # 1-59070-202-6 Publisher is The Goodheart=Wilcox Company.
It is a book that I use all of the time when it comes to questions about light construction.

I'm with you, I think every body else is correct with regarding the framing underneath as to the actual construction terms but the exterior facing is a part of the fascia. Besides, most laymen can get a grip on fascia but lose the ability to understand these other terms. Now if you need to refer to the structural wood elements behind the one by, it might be a good idea to go with some of those terms as applicable in your area. |

On older houses where the return is three dimensional, and where real carpentry was required, we refer to this detail formally in Central New York as a gable end return. Informally, it's a pigeon walk.
For this miserable, etiolated, two dimensional detail in modern construction, the term "pork chop" seems just right. |

Re: what do you call
I start writing pork chop and people will really wonder what I used to do.
