At the center of the south ( front ) facade is a porch supported by Doric columns and a wooden balustrade topped by a wide frieze and triglyph with dentilled moldings.

The triglyph is largely thought to be a tectonic and skeuomorphic representation in stone of the wooden beam ends of the typical primitive hut, as described by Vitruvius and Renaissance writers.
23.
Each triglyph has three vertical grooves, similar to the columnar fluting, and below them, seemingly connected, are guttae, small strips that appear to connect the triglyphs to the architrave below.
24.
These date from around 510 BC . The earlier group were mostly carved in sections consisting of a triglyph on the left and a relief panel with figures on the right, all on a single piece of stone.
25.
At the first temples the final triglyph was moved ( " illustration, right : "'II . " "'), still terminating the sequence, but leaving a gap disturbing the regular order.

In terms of structure, metopes may be carved from a single block with a triglyph ( or triglyphs ), or they may be cut separately and slide into slots in the triglyph blocks as at the Temple of Aphaea.

Above a plain architrave, the complexity comes in the frieze, where the two features originally unique to the Doric, the triglyph and guttae, are skeuomorphic memories of the beams and retaining pegs of the wooden constructions that preceded stone Doric temples.
29.
The architrave, the lowest band, is split from bottom to top into the broad fascia, the guttae or " drips " ( below the triglyph in the frieze ), and the " taenia " below the projecting cymatium ).

A beautifully proportioned mahogany and white staircase winds four levels to the top of the house, which is crowned with Clemens's clerestory library, a fanciful, light-suffused space where Dreyfuss employed an ornamental triglyph-and-metope Doric frieze with abandon.
