Queen Anne

1880-1910

The Queen Anne style was named and popularized by a group of 19th century English architects, led by Richard Norman Shaw. Decorative detailing includes spindlework, free classic design, half-timbering, or patterned masonry.

Elements of this style regained popularity in the Neoeclectic movement of the 70’s and 80’s.

Common Queen Anne architectural design features:

• Steep-pitched roof of irregular shape
• Patterned shingles
• Cutaway bay windows
• Asymmetrical facade with partial, full, or wrap-a-round porch
• Corner tower
