Picturesque Queen Anne Cottage This sweet Queen Anne style cottage in Portland, Maine was built as the caretaker’s house for the adjacent mansion (out of the photo to the right).
It is shown in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” along with more than two dozen other examples of the style to illustrate the great variety found in Queen Anne houses.
Many books show a few examples of each style, often in line drawings or black and white photos. This book shows numerous examples from across the U.S. in full color with character-defining features of each style keyed to the photos to help you learn to spot the differences and similarities between styles.
Restoring any house should start with understanding what is significant and character-defining about it – Chapter 2 will help you to do so.
Signed and personalized copies of the award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book are available from the author in our shop YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/.
