This gorgeous San Francisco Queen Anne is a picturesque house with asymmetrical composition and a rich variety of textures and ornamentation.
Typical features of the style include patterned shingles, angled bays, porches, towers, ornamental balconies, and scroll-cut, carved, and turned ornament, all of which are found on this house.
Popularized by magazines and house plan books, Queen Anne houses were built from coast to coast. The wood-framed Victorian and Edwardian era houses of northern California often exhibit an exceptional level of ornamentation and detailing.
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.
More than 50 color photos are used to illustrate the Queen Anne style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
Signed and personalized copies of the award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book are available from the author at YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/ and through the shop on this page.
Select preservation titles by other authors, including the classic “A Field Guide to American Houses” by Virginia McAlester, are also available in our shop!
