A Walking Tour of Architectural Styles
Introduction – The Queen Anne
By Herbert J. Githens
An architectural style that broke from monotonous
repetition of similar blocks of townhouses and struck a
chord of individuality was the Queen Anne. It was purposely
asymmetrical or unbalanced in its masonry and placement of
architectural features. Details were taken from a "grab-bag"
of historical styles. Like the Romanesque Revival, the Queen
Anne style was popular in the 1880s and '90s.
