A Craftsman style house with Queen Anne features. At the end of the Victorian era, wonderful houses were built that combined elements of the popular styles of that era with elements of the emerging styles of the new century. This is a lovely example, essentially a Queen Anne form with detailing in the Craftsman style.
Queen Anne and Craftsman are two of the 25 styles and types illustrated in Chapter 2 of Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners. Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
