An eclectic Victorian-era house combining Italianate and Stick Style features in Saratoga Springs, NY.
This is an example of a Victorian-era house that blends elements of several styles of the period in a way that makes it difficult to categorize the style of the house exactly. It is Italianate in its massing and fenestration but Stick Style in some of its detailing. The result is delightful and illustrates why the word “eclectic” is so helpful when discussing the architecture of this period.
Understanding the style of a house will help you know which features are character-defining so you can prioritize their preservation.
Twenty-five architectural styles are described and 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 in our shop, YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/.
Our shop also carries select preservation and restoration titles by other authors. Save on cost and shipping with our multi-book combo packs!
