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. |
