A pretty Queen Anne style cottage in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
The Queen Anne style often features complex roof forms with multiple gables. Other typical features include porches and turned or scroll-cut trim. This c. 1895 house features stick-and-ball fretwork on the porch, a popular type of decoration for interior and exterior use during the period.
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.
Queen Anne is one of the 25 styles and types illustrated 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.
