#3170. Victorian Mansion with Expressive Façade and Red Brick Chimneys

The image showcases a magnificent example of Queen Anne style architecture – a classic American Victorian structure from the late 19th century. The house features an asymmetrical façade with a characteristic multi-level composition and a complex roof form with multiple slopes, covered with reddish-brown shingles.

Particularly noteworthy are two corner porches with decorative arched elements and white balustrades. A striking detail of the façade is the massive red brick chimneys that serve as vertical accents, contrasting with the light gray wooden cladding of the main volume. The main chimney is especially prominent, designed as a powerful red brick column that runs through the entire height of the building.

The windows of the house vary in shape and size, which is typical for the Queen Anne style. Some of them are adorned with decorative glazing patterns. The abundance of architectural details, including decorative cornices, columns, and carved elements on the porches, creates a rich visual image. The landscape surrounding – bare winter trees and small evergreen plantings – emphasizes the monumentality and historical significance of this country mansion.
