The method I was taught to use, is to consider the overall shape of the structure first, then consider the ornamental details.<BR/><BR/>In this case I'd say you have it exactly right. The shape is pure Queen Anne. The details are a little Eastlake. Because styles came to the West a little later, and architects tended to blend them more, sometimes it can be hard placing a label on a house.<BR/><BR/>Cheer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-10250971041971278962007-08-07T13:31:00.000-07:002007-08-07T13:31:00.000-07:00Hi, Brandi.

I’m guilty of not being too knowledgeable regarding architecture; I more or less parrot what I find in source material – in this case, “Picture Album of Historic Angelino Heights” (“Queen Anne-Eastlake”), McGrew and Julian (“well-maintained Queen Anne home”), Gebhard and Winter (“Almost pure Queen Anne with just a little Eastlake decoration here and there.”), and L.A.’s Cultural Heritage Commission (“the Queen Anne-Eastlake style of architecture”). In the future, I’ll try harder to be prepared to back up information, whether it’s my own or someone else’s. Thanks for the comment. Can anyone offer what makes this Queen Anne?Floyd B.

It definitely looks Eastlake but the Queen Anne part, well, it doesn't have many (if any) characteristics typical of Queen anne (turrets, porch that wraps, heavy gingerbread etc) Just curious how so many of these houses seem to be stuck with labels of Queen Anne and Eastlake stuck together.They are pretty different stylistically and true Queen Anne styles actually seem far less common, in LA at least. I'd love to know where the info comes from and how designations of style are typically arrived at.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-34787101591859673952007-08-06T20:19:00.000-07:002007-08-06T20:19:00.000-07:00Great.

I'm not sure if they were landmarks, but they should've been.gchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372910023093688354noreply@blogger.com
