Queen Anne

 

This is one of the most popular high Victorian styles. Developed in Great Britain and displayed at the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia, the syle is characterized by great compexity. Irregular massive, great variety of windows and sheathing material, complex roofs, filigree -- these are just some of the qualities that make up Queen Anne. An excellent local example would by the J. P. Carr House. The Blakeney House is somewhat less ornate and would be called Country Queen Anne, meaning that it was fashioned by a local carpenter.
