Queen Anne Style Shines Through. Even though this Free Classic Queen Anne style house in Alabama has been wrapped in modern siding and painted bright white, its character shines through. Imagine what it could look like with its original siding and details exposed and painted in an appropriate color scheme!
Understanding the character-defining features of different styles of architecture allows you to “see through” later alterations and imagine what a house was and can be again.
The first section of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners” is devoted to the understanding of styles and exploration of how a house may have changed over time. Removal of modern siding and restoration of missing details are covered in later chapters of the book.
Signed and personalized copies of the award-winning and bestselling 720-page hardcover book are available from the author in our online shop at YourHistoricHouse.com/shop/.
Our shop also carries select preservation and restoration titles by other authors, including the classic “A Field Guide to American Houses” by Virginia McAlester. Save with our multi-book combo packs!
