Although Queen Anne style houses are typically asymmetrical, this example is perfectly balanced. Common features of the style, including combined clapboard and shingle siding, projecting bays, towers, and porches, are found on this house, now an inn in beautiful Ogunquit, Maine.
Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
More than 50 color photos illustrate the Queen Anne style in “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
