Queen Anne Style Architecture

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Queen Anne Style is a furniture and decoration style that reached its greatest popularity in the last quarter of the 19th century, manifesting itself in a number of different ways in different countries. It consisted largely of influences that harked back to 'Old English' or even Tudor styles and characteristics. This Queen Anne style derived from the influence of Richard Norman Shaw, an influential British architect of the late Victorian era. Seen from the 1870s onwards, this style revived features of English architecture from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including, initially, elements from the historical reign of Queen Anne (1702-14). However the historic reference in the name should not be taken literally as most buildings in the Queen Anne style (including most of those illustrated in this article) bear very little resemblance to English buildings of 1702-14.
