What is the Queen Anne Victorian Architectural Style?

[@StallionFernando]

There's a reason why you don't see Queen-Anne revival homes, the sheer complexity, creativity & work put into them is far beyond what most contemporary architects & builders are willing to do.

[@sway2382]

Certainly more than the typical buyer would be willing to pay for at least... Id say fault lies not with builders, but with changes to our society as a whole, supply sourcing, and the expectations of the average consumer.

[@warriorgirl8118]

It’s too bad because back then it wasn’t all about money 💰 it was about people taking pride in their work and they built them to last not the cheap homes they make that they charge millions of dollars for now to have someone actually take pride in their build this day and age so now you pay an architect 100 times the price now for this kind of build and the average home built today you are charging a million dollars for homes built cheap materials and garbage for the end product so you are paying big bucks for homes that don’t have good foundations all the way to the roof and interior and exterior of the home so people back the. Who had a mansion got their money worth but not this day in age now their built cheap and want a fortune for them what a just joke about homes now being built 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢😢

[@WhatTheBoot]

Worth it!

[@Libertaro-i2u]

There are a few Queen Anne Victorian revival houses, but like with most other revival styles, it's prohibitively expensive for most (we already have a crisis of housing affordability or lack thereof), and the most popular style remains contemporary.

[@CredibleHulk10]

"able" to do

[@lizdelisle1912]

Along with the beauty of this house is the fact the houses built back then we’re built to last and frequently outlast the more contemporary architecture. They took a long time to build. Today’s house goes up fast with cheap materials that require constant repairs. We need to go back to those days!

[@javierpacheco8234]

That's true I wish these older styles would come back but right now modern and futuristic is what's tending in the architecture carrer and they don't want to change. During these times we have the technology to create great designs when back in the day it was more labor intensive. I think the reason why is becuase money, lack of craftsman, architecture today wants to create a more sustainable type of architecture becuase of the problem of global warming, but vernacular architecture is sustainable. Architecture today praises more the technology aspect rather than the nature aspect, maybe that's why.

It makes sense that they were skeptical of electricity. This was the time when Thomas Edison's direct current (DC) electricty was still in use and causing house (and even city) fires all across the nation. This finally changed when DC was soundly challenged and put to rest by Nikola Tesla and his much safer alternating current.

[@stalinsmum6475]

As a Serb, I know the part about Tesla.

[@icaruswindrune7116]

While that is true, DC is still being used today - mainly in vehicles and smart devices. There are also companies who are using High Voltage DC for long distance electrical transfers due to it being more stable and more efficient than AC (along with recent tech allowing for DC to also be able to shift between higher and lower voltages).

[@hollyw9566]

Craftsman houses are ever my favorite style, but I really love Queen Anne Victorians. And Gothic. And Italianate. I grew up in a folk Victorian Queen Anne Style. That's probably why.

America has such beautiful historic homes all over. Victorians have never been my favorite because of the dark mood many have which, of course, are beloved by so many people. However, the Queen Anne style is magnificent!!

[@VictrolaJazz]

My mother arrived in Ft. Worth fresh off the farm in Big Spring to attend TWU (Texas Wesleyan today) as an 18 year old in 1920. She became best friends with a student from Roanoke, Judith Bourland, through whom she met my father on Valentine's Day 1921 and married in her home on July 25, 1923. Judith, who never married, taught many years in Ft. Worth and we would make two or three trips to visit her each year and I grew to love Ft. Worth as much as my mother did. She bought her last home on Stanley Ave. in the Glencoe Terrace neighborhood in 1959. You turned onto Glencoe Terrace off Forest Park Blvd., climbed to the end of Glencoe where in dead ended into Stanley and you could only turn left. Her house was a pretty gold brick house built in 1931, second from the end of the street on the left side. Sadly, she lived her last years in assisted living and passed away in 1988 at 87. My mother passed away in 1997 at 94. I remember seeing this gorgeous home on one of our trips and always wanted to see more of it!

@@victorianhomejournal4043 You're welcome! Here is a home in Waco, TX at 1503 Columbus. It was either built in 1889 or 1892 depending on what source you access. It is right across the street from a house where my parents' friend Enid and Willie B. Wilie lived and I was impressed with it from the time I first saw it when I was five in the late 40's! I would always stand and admire it and see what I could through the always curtainless window on the second floor facing south. I've never been in it, but would love to see it inside. It's been in the same family since 1917.

Looks similar to our home, the use of different species of wood on the main floor is amazing. Our home was born in 1899 and thank God the former generations didn't paint any of the beautiful wood. The 3rd floor is less magnificent than the first and second floors but its really fun to look out the circular windows down at the smaller house next door. The home across the street from ours is also a good example. When you look out the windows you wonder how many people have looked out these same views.

When I was growing up I was born and spent most of my childhood and a beautiful queen and Victorian home I loved the big towers we had several stained glass windows but when I was maybe 12 or so we had to move because my parents got divorced my mom said she really wanted to keep it but with the divorce it was no longer affordable she said that for a while there she was thinking about going and buying the house again after she got situated but by that time it was the early 2000s and everything cost more than it did in the early 90s and the house was too expensive and then she also let me know that these actually require a lot of upkeep because they are very prone to weathering so it's almost like annually you're going to have to replace the paint the wood and everything outside so she couldn't afford it she said that it was not so expensive in in the 1980s and 1990s but the 2000s made it way out of her budget. It was a beautiful home and it's such a shame that the people that live there now they don't take care of it at all basically it looks like an old Victorian tweaker house they don't even take care of the yard or the trees or the bushes so everything's all overgrown too but when my family lived there they took care of it.

Your style description is incorrect. Queen Anne lived in the early 1700s. Queen Victoria was alive in the 2nd half of the 1800s. Its like calling a house an Abraham Lincoln Nixonian House.

The description Queen Anne is also used for furniture, not architecture.

[@tolegonianfella5423]

Queen Anne just refers to the type of stylization given to the Victorian house and is simply a specific type of Victorian house built during the Victorian era. Just like second empire, Gothic revival, stick Eastlake, and folk are other types of Victorian houses along with Queen Anne. Don’t hurt yourself

[@Revelwoodie]

@@ovh992 Well then, if we really want to be accurate, we shouldn't call it "Queen Anne Revival" either, because nothing about it revives anything from the reign of Queen Anne. The phrase "Queen Anne" in architecture has absolutely nothing to do with the historical figure, nor does it bear any relationship to her era. In any case, this is largely an across-the-pond confusion. "Queen Anne Revival" is a term used in the UK, but not in the US. And since, as I said, it has nothing to do with the actual Queen no matter what we call it, this is a difference with about as much importance as whether or not we chuckle when someone says "fanny pack."

Queen Annes were all about scaling back the gingerbread to showcase the beauty of natural, quality materials and craftsmanship. Queen Annes represent a NEW approach to building that would usher in the Arts and Crafts movement. It is perhaps more accurate to say not that Queen Anne homes are part of the Victorian style, but rather that Queen Annes were a Belle Epoch (Gilded Age) era answer to Victorian building.
