Ken, Tim:
Ken, the "Split Foyer" is a icon of 1970s American surburbia if there ever was one. I have pasted a link to one that shows significant jetty and perhaps even wealden in the front door area. This particular example is a classic that was duplicated Thousands and thousands of times here in this country. Right, Tim?:
http://www.traditionalbuilders.com/images/split_foyer_1.jpgThe garrison is also popular in suburbia, albeit lesser so... very popular in the lexicon of modern American carpenters. But I think this is an older tradition, surely from Europe. If you look up "garrison" in a dictionary, it is synonymous with "fort." There is obvious overhang/ jetty. I included another link:
