A St. Charles Avenue Queen Anne style house in New Orleans.
One of America’s most famous neighborhoods, the Uptown-Garden District area is filled with wonderful 19th and early 20th-century homes. This is a charming example built c. 1880 and attributed to architect Thomas Sully, whose home was nearby. St. Charles Avenue has remained a desirable address due to its lovely homes, historic streetcar line, and Mardi Gras parades each spring.
American Queen Anne developed its own distinctive characteristics, emerging from English Queen Anne style. The porches, balconies, and elaborate trim seen on this house are all typical of the style.
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 two dozen full-color photos illustrate the Queen Anne style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
