About the style

Queen Anne threw out the symmetry of every style before it. The plan is irregular, the roof is a set of intersecting gables and hips, and the wall is broken into textures: clapboards below, patterned shingles above, panels in the gable. A tower or turret marks a corner, a porch wraps around the front, and the windows come in every size, often with a border of small colored panes.

Newburyport's Queen Anne houses were built in the last two decades of the nineteenth century, on the newer streets away from the old center and as replacements downtown.
