Queen Anne Style
Introduction
Queen Anne style architecture was one of several popular Victorian architectural styles that emerged in the United States during the period from about 1880 to 1910. Popular there during that era, it followed the Eastlake style and preceded the Richardsonian and Shingle Romanesque styles.
The style bears almost no relation to the original Queen Anne-style architecture in Britain (a toned-down version of English Baroque that was used primarily for the great houses of the nobility) that appeared during the time of Queen Anne, who reigned from 1702 to 1714, nor to the revival that imitated it (which appeared there at the turn of the century).
The American style covers a wide range of picturesque buildings with "Free Revival" (non-Gothic) details, rather than being a specific style in its own right.
The "Queen Anne" label, as an alternative to both the French-derived Second Empire style and less "domestic" than the Beaux-Arts style, in the United States is widely applied to the architecture, furniture, and decorative arts of the era from 1880 to 1910. Some architectural elements of the style, such as the wraparound front porch, continued to be found into the 1920s.
Overview
Queen Anne style buildings in the United States became fashionable during the 1880s, replacing the French Second Empire as the "style of the day." The popularity of the high style declined in the early 1900s, but some elements continued to be found in new buildings until the 1920s, such as the wraparound front porch (often "L" shaped).
Some of the characteristics that distinguish the American Queen Anne style are:[3].
