Victorian Styles page Two

The Queen Anne Style Victorians, popular 1885 - 1905, have a noticeably more baroque appearance, comprised of a wide range of structures and textures. Usually a home of this style has a triangular gable facing the street, and often has a spire or tower. Windows tend to be lower and wider than the earlier styles.

The Edwardian Style homes, popular 1905 - 1920, generally have simpler trim. The distinguishing feature of this style is the egg-and-dart cornice work. Also, Edwardian homes were constructed of wood, stucco, brick or a combination, while the Victorians built previously were all made of redwood.
