2. What architectural style was predominant in Britain during Queen Victoria’s reign?

3. Do you know anything about these two British Queens – Victoria and Anne?

4. What characteristic features of Queen Anne style can you name?

REIGNING STYLE OF THE INDUSTRIAL AGE

Of all the Victorian house styles, Queen Anne is the most elaborate and the most eccentric. The style is often

called romantic and feminine, yet it is the product of a most unromantic era – the machine age.

Queen Anne became an architectural fashion in the 1880s and 1890s, when the industrial revolution was

building up steam.

North America was caught up in the excitement of new technologies. Factory-made, precut architectural

parts were shuttled across the country on a rapidly expanding train network. Exuberant builders combined these

pieces to create innovative, and sometimes excessive, homes.
