Queen Anne Summer Home, Chautauqua, NY
The vacation home pays homage to the Queen Anne style, with its steep-pitched roof, multiple gable forms, turned porch posts, and decorative millwork or “gingerbread” trim. Exterior decorative brackets allude to nature and the vernacular tradition in drawing inspiration from the landscape. Silhouettes of the sun and crescent moon in the gable end panels evoke the cosmos, and are metaphors for a larger order and the owner’s own proclivities. The siding and trim are made with Boral TruExterior, which provides authentic looks along with performance to withstand both the hot, humid summers and cold winters.

Too much detail but a fan of the overall look
