This house began life as a more modest Second Empire style house and had the tower, porch, bay windows, and other elements added several decades after it was built., turning it into a Queen Anne style house. It was the home of architect Francis Fassett. Although the house suffered a period of neglect, it was beautifully restored in the early 2000s.
The Queen Anne style appears all across the United States and is probably the most “Victorian” of the Victorian era styles.
Restoring a historic house can feel like a giant “puzzle” with thousands of pieces. “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” can help solve that puzzle.
