How were Cape Dutch gables built - and how can they be built today?

Cape Dutch facades can be somewhat duplicated by hand made removable plywood forms. The forms are shaped and poured inplace with concrete, than removed after curing, a smooth wall will be the end result. The banding, scrolls that outline the facade are built freehand using portland cement products that will be compatible with the poured in place wall. It is a time consuming project and worth the time and energy another method would be using the conventional stick frame stucco wall method, three coat application of portland cement on the exterior walls, consisting of a scratch coat, brown coat, and a finish coat. The banding, scrolls that outline the facades are also built and shaped freehand using portland cement products. This is a proven method, I built such a structure on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with great success.
