A prefabricated vinyl-siding corner block is provided for use as a corner on a building. The vinyl-siding corner blocks have raised portions that are formed to resemble structural building materials such as brickwork, stone, wood, stucco, or other materials used for surface elements of buildings and recessed portions formed to resemble a stone surfaces of a course of mortar or cement. The vinyl-siding corner block is preferably formed to have the appearance of stone blocks with a quarried, sawn or sculptured appearance. The vinyl-siding corner block is formed to facilitate interaction with readily available conventional siding materials and may be readily attached to the frame of a building with the minimum of tools and labor and thus contributes to the achievement of a relatively low construction cost.
