#6433. Vibrant Victorian Facade: A Polychromatic Queen Anne Style Mansion

The image showcases a magnificent example of Victorian Queen Anne architecture with characteristic features of late 19th century decorative eclecticism. The facade of the house impresses with its vibrant color palette: the main volume is executed in a yellow-sand color, which contrasts dramatically with rich green decorative elements and bright red accents.

The architectural composition of the building is asymmetrical and multi-layered. The facade is adorned with elements typical of the Queen Anne style: a polygonal turret with a dome-shaped roof and weathervane, various gables with decorative woodwork, and numerous protruding volumes. Of particular note is the porch-portico with columns and balustrade, painted in green, as well as the red entrance staircase, creating a dynamic accent.

The window openings are diverse in shape and size – rectangular, arched, with decorative casings. The facade finishing includes several types of cladding: carved wooden panels, figured shingles, and ornamental "fish scale" patterns on the gables. The frieze under the cornice is decorated with geometric ornaments.

Special expressiveness is given to the building through the detailed elaboration of wooden elements: brackets, cornices, pilasters, and carved patterns create a rich play of light and shadow. The complex configuration roof with multi-colored shingles completes this outstanding example of residential architecture from the late Victorian era, when the decorative nature of facades reached its maximum expression.
