A red brick Queen Anne house

The Queen Anne style was influential in the United States from about the 1870s until the turn of the century. It is characterized by asymmetric facades with a variety of features: projecting oriels, bay windows, turrets, odd roof lines, and rich textures, often with terra cotta decorations, ornamental plaster, or masonry designs.
