The Queen Anne House
Queen Anne style houses are arguably the most charming and picturesque of all Victorians. In The Queen Anne House: America’s Victorian Vernacular, noted preservationist Janet W. Foster presents a thoughtful recognition of these houses’ place in the history of American architecture.
Built across the U.S. during the late 19th century, features of Queen Anne houses include gabled roofs; corbelled chimneys; vertical windows; large porches; balconies; and cut-stone foundations. Foster explains distinguishing elements of the Queen Anne tradition as she examines 21 noted houses many of them not open to the public and never before published. With more than 200 magnificent photographs, this homage to a great American art form will delight anyone who appreciates a beautiful home. More info here.
