An improved construction and method of assembly for applying vinyl soffit and fascia panels to a cornice of a structure precludes the usual time-consuming process of installing the soffit panels one at a time by sliding them through supporting channel or by flexing the panels. The construction includes an improved corner member having outer and lower legs which is fitted adjacent to the bottom of the fascia of the cornice. The corner member includes a lock leg depending from one of the outer and lower legs, and is adapted to engage outer edge portions of the soffit panels and a lower edge portion of the fascia panel whereby the installation of the soffit panels may be accomplished in an efficient and straightforward fashion.
