Home Styles Found in Evanston
Evanston is rich with many different architectural home styles. For purposes of this article I will discuss three prominant styles : Victorian ,Queen Anne , and Tudor Revival .
Victorian (1860-1880) Many people use the term Victorian to describe an architectural style yet Victorian is not really a style as it is a period in history. The Victorian era dates from about 1840 to 1900. There are many differerent features during this era and can be put into sub categories (i.e. Gothic Revival, Victorian Italianate).
Queen Anne (1880-1910) While also considered a Victorian the Queen Anne is the most elaborate and the most eccentric. Often it is described as romantic and feminine
Tudor Revival (1890- Present)-Tudor Style architecture imitates 16th Century English architecture. These homes look like castles, medieval cottages, have beautifully patterned brickwork and stonework.
