Talk:Queen Anne Style architecture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Move?

Shouldn't it be Queen Anne style architecture, the capitalization the body of the article uses? NickelShoe 19:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

No need, the article has been corrected.--12.72.78.39 21:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Confusingly captioned "A view of the railroad depot at Disneyland amusement park in Anaheim, California. The building is in the Queen Anne style with mansard roofs, widow's walks, dormers, and a clock tower."

In the illustration at left Walt Disney's design team has reinterpreted, c. 1955, at three-fifths scale, an already generic impression of a "Second Empire" commercial structure without a single feature of the "Queen Anne Style". This image does not help clarify Queen Anne Style architecture, the "free Renaissance" style introduced by British architects like Norman Shaw and taken up by American speculative builders by c. 1880 as an alternative to Second Empire. --Wetman 22:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stick style

I added a free use image that I took of a stick style house (according to newspaper articles about its reconstruction). The wording about stick style is about a house that is not pictured. An expert on stick style needs to update the paragraph. I am not qualified. I could easily take a closer image of the house if you'd like. The outside reconstruction is slated to be completed fairly soon, and it would be nice to have a closer image without scaffolding. --Royalbroil 14:05, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
