QUEEN ANNESscrollworkOF ST. ELMO
St. Elmo's Queen Anne style houses show the variety to be found within a single architectural style. What makes a Queen Anne? Bright spindlework, curling brackets, and lacy porchwork? That is a good clue, but look to the roofs. Look for gables. Look for hipped roofs that are sharply pitched and asymmetrical.

Devoid of spindling and fancy scrollwork, this understated Queen Anne is identifiable by the hipped roof and lower cross gables. The palladian-styled windows in the peaks is another Queen Anne feature.
