Ralph-
I have a lovely picture of a local Victorian (1870s vintage currently, may
have some earlier stuff underneath, since the styling is rather wacky...
anyway) with good awnings that shade the wrap-around porch. Would you like
for to have a copy? Picture is worth a thousand words-- show them how cool
they look, and perhaps you will have better success?
Other than that, Roger Moss' book onVictorian exterior design has a good,
readable chapter on awnings.
Let me know.
