#3262. Eclectic Victorian Mansion with Richly Ornamented Queen Anne Style Facade

This magnificent example of Victorian architecture showcases an eclectic Queen Anne style with extensive "gingerbread" ornamentation. The facade presents an asymmetrical composition with numerous projections, turrets, and diverse decorative elements. The impressive two-story volume of the building is complicated by a mansard roof with dormer windows and ornate finials.

The main color scheme of the facade is executed in light gray tones with contrasting decorative elements in beige and reddish hues. Particularly eye-catching are the carved ornamental panels, decorative brackets, elegant balustrades, and intricate woodwork. Window openings of various shapes and sizes create a rhythmic pattern across the facade, with many windows adorned with decorative casings.

The central entrance is accentuated by a small classical portico with a triangular pediment and columns, adding grandeur to the entire composition. The side veranda with decorative posts and lace-like carvings blends harmoniously into the overall appearance of the building. The mansion is surrounded by a well-maintained garden with ornamental shrubs, further emphasizing its representative character.
