While many examples of the Queen Anne style are large, this charming modest example of the style in Augusta, Maine, shows that it was used for smaller houses as well. Typical Queen Anne features include the varied roof form, combination of clapboard and shingle siding with bands of patterned shingles, turned and scroll-cut trim at the bay window, and a porch.
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.
This is one of more than 50 color photos used to illustrate the style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
