City Directories and History: ca. 1900 Queen Anne home…
Queen Anne Architecture 1880 – 1910 The Queen Anne style evolved from those early English designs to become a distinctly American style with numerous, sometimes regional variations. The use of three dimensional wood trim called spindle-work was an American innovation made possible by the technological advances in the mass production of wood trim and the ease of improved railroad transport. Queen Anne buildings almost always have a steep “hipped” roofs with cross gables or large dormers, an asymmetrical front façade, and an expansive “full length” porches with decorative wood trim. A round or polygonal front corner tower with a conical roof is a distinctive Queen Anne feature. Courtesy Penn Arch. Field Guide – Website
