Definition
A large horizontal beam placed across an opening (like a storefront) to carry the weight of the structure above it; also known as a summer or bressomer.
Etymology
From Old French 'bresse' (beam) plus 'summer' (from Latin 'saguma'), referring to a structural beam. This variant spelling is more common in British architectural terminology.
Kelly Says
Walk down any medieval European high street and the bressummer is what lets those narrow shop fronts support massive timber-framed stories above—it's why old shops don't collapse despite being built like they might.
