#253. Victorian Facade with Rich Decor: The Exquisite Ingomar Club Mansion in Queen Anne Style

Before us is a magnificent example of Victorian architecture in the Queen Anne style — the private "Ingomar Club". This is a true architectural symphony with the richest decorative facade design, characteristic of the late Victorian eclectic period of the late 19th century.

The building's facade is a veritable textbook of decorative elements. Note the expressive tower with its multi-pitched roof, adorned with skillfully carved details. The Queen Anne style characteristic gables with ornamental elements create an unmistakable silhouette. The architectural facade design has been executed with incredible attention to detail — featuring carved cornices, decorative brackets, elegant balustrades, and delicate filigree elements.

The color scheme also deserves special mention: olive-green decorative elements effectively contrast with the main light tone of the walls, highlighting architectural details and creating expressive depth. Numerous windows with carved frames give the facade rhythm and visual interest.

When designing modern facades, one can borrow from this style the use of contrasting color combinations, play with textures, emphasis on architectural details, and creation of an expressive building silhouette. Even in simplified form, these techniques will give a house individuality and architectural value.
