The Uptown-Garden District area in New Orleans is filled with wonderful 19th and early 20th-century homes. This is a charming Queen Anne style example from the 1890s. 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 emerged from the English Queen Anne style and developed its own distinctive characteristics.
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.”
