San Francisco Victorian Facade: Tower Mansion in Queen Anne Style

#3214. San Francisco Victorian Facade: Tower Mansion in Queen Anne Style

The image showcases an excellent example of San Francisco Victorian architecture, specifically a Queen Anne style house with a characteristic corner tower. The facade features an elegant pale blue (or gray-blue) color with white accents in the trim.

Particularly expressive is the polygonal tower with a conical roof located at the corner of the building. The tower is adorned with a decorative cornice and large bay windows, creating a silhouette characteristic of Victorian architecture. The stained glass window on the second floor of the tower exhibits especially intricate detailing.

The facade of the house demonstrates the typical combination of different textures and architectural elements for this style: classical cornices, a decorative frieze with carved elements beneath the protruding tower windows, as well as elegant window frame trim. A small gable above the entrance is decorated with a diamond-shaped motif, which is repeated in the decorative elements of the lower part of the facade.

The building has a double garage with two light-colored doors, which is a more modern addition to the historical architecture. The house is situated on a typical steep San Francisco street and is adjacent to more modern buildings, including a brick house on the right.
