[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)
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)
This was an erudite discussion, but from a singularly British point of view and perhaps over scholarly (historiographical). Some of the more arcane (for American readers) discussion as been removed, but may still be accessed by use of the "history" tab, above. The article is now broken into three ariticles, devoted to "Queen Anne," "Stick Style," and "Shingle Style."
[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)
It doesn't seem to be standard practice in the US to consider "Stick" and "Shingle" as types of "Queen Anne" style. They are more generally seen as three differnt design languages. The three sections should be separated into three independent articles--cross referenced, of course. This user would never look for "Shingle Style" under "Queen Anne." In the US, the Shingle Style seems to be the more hightly regarded, being identified with the work of some master architects such as H. H. Richardson and McKim, Mead & White. Queen Anne is rather regarded as more commonly vernacular building of the period. Phmalo 22:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
