Abstract: An apparatus is for an elongated architectural molding. The apparatus includes an elongated tier support configured to supportably receive, at least in part, the elongated architectural molding. The elongated tier support includes a first portion integrally extending from the elongated tier support. The elongated tier support also includes a second portion integrally extending from the elongated tier support. The second portion is spaced apart from the first portion. A first stand-off portion integrally extends from the first portion. A second stand-off portion integrally extends from the second portion. The second stand-off portion is spaced apart from the first stand-off portion. This is done in such a way that the elongated architectural molding is positionable between the first stand-off portion and the second stand-off portion.
