Jennifer and I have some great ideas brewing for our clients and friends...and we can't wait to share some of them! One great new and fun idea is our Business 2 Buisness connection we are beginning! Each month we will be focusing on a local business, and working with that business to offer our clients and friends a coupon, discount, or money back that you wont be able to get any where else! It will be just another way we can say THANK YOU to all of you who love us, support us, and refer us to your neighbors, family and friends. Keep an eye out...our great first buisness will be posted very soon!

Victorian vs Queen Ann

So lets continue comparing styles of houses. Since I got a question asked about Queen Ann and a Victorian (thanks Maureen) I will address that. Even though this is going to be up for debate. In real estate most people that ask me for a Queen Ann style houses, they are talking about the victorian style that has the copula or round dome shaped peak that are on roof tops. A victorian style house in real estate world has the tall peaks.

In the true definition of what the difference is a Queen Ann is a time period of Victorian style house. The furniture and decoration is what makes it a true Queen Ann, but they all fall into the Victorian style of architecture.

Riverside has some beautiful examples of these houses. In fact 1 of them is a museum. If you haven't had a chance to go by and visit it, you really should. It is our wonderful Heritage House on Magnolia. That house has such great detail and style not to mention, a history all us women should be proud of. Mrs Bettner designed the entire house during a time when women didn't own property. She was a widow when she started the planning of the home. The house never had a male presence in it. She ran the house along with an orange grove.
