1. An article of manufacture for trimming a building structure, comprising: a pulatruded trim member comprising: a crown, the crown including: i. a first end;ii. a second end; andiii. a central portion, the central portion extending at an angle between the first end and the second end; anda frieze integrally attached to and located below the second end of the crown member, the frieze comprising: i. a generally vertical body portion integrally attached to and extending from the second end of the crown;ii. an end portion located opposite the connection with the crown, the end portion including; a. a wall that folds back upon itself in a generally serpentine manner forming; i. a covering surface, andii. a nailing surface located adjacent to the covering surface so that the covering surface conceals at least a portion of the nailing surface from view;b. a channel located between the covering surface and the nailing surface, the channel adapted to receive an underlying surface so that upon fastening the frieze to the underlying surface using a fastener, the nailing surface is concealed from view; andiii. a stiffening rib including a first end and a second end, the stiffening rib being cantilever and extending laterally from the generally vertical body portion so that the first end is attached to the generally vertical body portion and the second end is free of contact with the article of manufacture;wherein the stiffening rib is located between the crown member and the end portion so that the stiffening rib provides support for the frieze against forces applied to the frieze. 2. The article of claim 1, wherein the trim member includes a gutter. 3. The article of claim 1, further including an attachment portion formed on the crown, said attachment portion adapted to receive and positively engage a portion of another trim member. 4. The article of claim 1, wherein the underlying surface is siding, a brick, or stone veneering. 5. The article of claim 1, wherein the underlying surface extends into the channel so that the covering surface covers at least a portion of the underlying surface. 6. the article of claim 1, wherein the article includes reinforcements that include continuous strands of fiberglass, aramid fibers, and graphite. 7. The article of claim 4, wherein the article includes reinforcements that include continuous strands of fiberglass, aramid fibers, and graphite. 8. The article of claim 1, wherein the article includes reinforcements, the reinforcements being chopped strands, continuous strands, or swirl mats. 9. The article of claim 7, wherein the reinforcements are chopped strands, continuous strands, or swirl mats, and wherein the article includes a resin and the resin is polyurethane, polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, or phenolic resin. 10. The article of claim 1, wherein the stiffening rib extents from a back side of the generally vertical member so that the generally vertical member conceals the stiffening rib from view. 11. The article of claim 4, wherein the stiffening rib extends from a back side of the generally vertical member so that the generally vertical member conceals the stiffening rib from view. 12. The article of claim 7, wherein the stiffening rib extends from a back side of the generally vertical member so that the generally vertical member conceals the stiffening rib from view. 13. The article of claim 1, wherein the generally vertical member includes a protrusion. 14. The article of claim 12, wherein the generally vertical member includes a protrusion. 15. The article of claim 3, wherein the attachment portion is generally “C” shaped. 16. The article of claim 3, wherein the attachment portion includes a nailing surface that extends from the attachment portion so that the attachment portion can be connected to the building structure. 17. The article of claim 16, wherein the attachment portion is generally “C” shaped and the nailing surface extends from a rear side of the attachment portion so that the attachment portion is configured to receive the portion of the another trim member and the generally “C” shaped attachment portion can be connected to the building structure by the nailing surface. 18. The article of claim 17, wherein the another trim member is a gutter. 19. The article of claim 15, wherein the another trim member is a gutter. 20. The article of claim 1, wherein the crown includes an attachment portion and the attachment portion includes a nailing surface that extends from the attachment portion and is configured to be connected to the building structure, and wherein the nailing surface of the attachment portion and the nailing surface of the end portion are generally coplanar.
