Queen Anne

This picturesque style, popular in the 1880s and '90s, is found in almost every city and town in the United States. Buildings in the Queen Anne style have asymmetrical shapes characterized by bays and prominent, varied rooflines.  In Deschutes County, the Queen Anne Style never took hold simply due to the fact that the style had lost its popularity when most of the settlers were moving into the region. A few structures do have subtle hints of the waning style. 

Common characteristics are:

  • rich but simple ornament
  • variety of materials, including wood, terra cotta, stone, and pressed metal
  • expansive porches
  • pressed metal bays and turrets
  • irregular roofline with many dormers and chimneys
