Having classical crowning
Pedimented describes something topped with a pediment—a triangular or curved decorative element above a door, window, or portico, characteristic of classical architecture.
The pedimented entrance gave the courthouse a stately appearance.
Georgian and Federal-style buildings often feature pedimented windows and doorways.
