The photograph showcases a magnificent example of Victorian architecture, presumably from the late 19th century. This is a two-story house with a mansard roof, executed in the Queen Anne style – one of the most decorative sub-styles of the Victorian era.
The facade of the house is clad with wooden siding in a pleasant bluish-gray color with contrasting white and burgundy trim elements. A distinctive feature of the facade is its asymmetrical composition with two protruding bay windows, one of which has a semi-circular shape. A porch with a rounded corner wraps around the facade, creating a smooth transition between the volumes of the building. The porch railings are designed as an elegant lattice, characteristic of this architectural style.
The roof has a complex form with multiple slopes and triangular gables typical of the Queen Anne style, adorned with decorative elements. Two brick chimneys rise from the roof, adding verticality to the composition. The window openings are predominantly rectangular, with wooden frames outlined by contrasting casings.
The entrance group with a small porch and staircase emphasizes the welcoming character of the house. Architectural details, including the decorative trim of the gables, cornices with friezes, and skillfully crafted wooden elements, testify to the high craftsmanship of the builders of that era and the good preservation of the building's historical appearance.
