Abstract: A decorative doorbell apparatus is mounted to a building wall and includes a mounting plate secured to an outside surface of the wall. The plate includes a threaded opening that communicably corresponds with a passageway in the wall. An elongate, exteriorly threaded conduit is interengaged with the opening of the mounting plate. The conduit is received within the passageway and extends outwardly from the plate to a distal end spaced apart from the wall. A decorative member has a hole that receives the conduit such that the decorative member is mounted on the conduit between the plate and the distal end of the conduit. A doorbell switch is releasably engaged with the distal end of the conduit and is operably connected to doorbell wiring. The wiring extends through the conduit and is operably connected to a standard bell mechanism located inside the wall.
