The Queen Anne Revival Style

Queen Anne Revival Style

In America the Queen Anne Victorian style began in late-19th century New York and quickly migrated across the country. Curiously, it bears no resemblance to English architecture from the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714).

A Queen Anne Victorian home typically has a steeply pitched roof of irregular shape, an asymmetrical façade, some sort of porch and bay windows - or another aesthetic device used to avoid the appearance of flat façades.

This historic McCulloch Construction property (1728 SE Lambert Street), located in the heart of Sellwood, is currently for sale. Built in 1901, this Queen Anne has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and exquisite period detailing: $598,000. Call 503-709-2249 for more information or to schedule a tour.
