Painted Lady

Elaborate, Eclectic, Flamboyant. These are just a few of the words used to describe the Victorian era’s popular Queen Anne house style…

 

‘Think gingerbread trim, towers, turrets, and wraparound porches with multi-angled roofs and fancy lead-glass windows”.

 

Queen Anne homes are asymmetrical, with highly ornamented facades and more than one story. The Queen Anne style is all about decorative excess, with a variety of surface textures and materials like patterned brick, stone, wood, and occasionally stucco.

 

A great fall day for a photo of this historic home.

Victorian Queen Anne Style… painted lady.
