The Queen Anne style is perhaps the most exuberant of the popular Victorian-era styles. As seen here, the forms, textures, and patterns in the materials give the style visual interest and invite closer study.
This detail shot of the tower of a Queen Anne house painted in a restrained monochromatic scheme is illustrative of the variety and liveliness of the style. Maintaining or restoring the varied materials of these houses is key to preserving their character.
Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” is devoted to helping to identify the character-defining features of a house, prioritize elements to be preserved or restored, and guide changes necessary to make the house serve 21st-century lives.
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.
Our shop also carries select preservation and restoration titles by other authors, including Virginia McAlester’s classic “A Field Guide to American Houses.” Save with our multi-book combo packs!
