The Queen Anne style of British architecture refers to either the English Baroque architecture of the time of Queen Anne (who reigned from 1702 to 1714) or the British Queen Anne Revival form that became popular during the last quarter of the 19th century and the early decades of the 20th century.[1] In other English-speaking parts of the world, New World Queen Anne Revival architecture embodies entirely different styles.
