To all of you ultra-knowledgeable housing stock people...  can someone please post a set of pictures of different houses, each a unique style... Italionette, Victorian, Federal, Queen Anne, etc... and label them.  Maybe even include some of the distinguishing characteristics of that style of architecture.  I get so lost trying to distinguish the styles and haven't been able to find a place where it is neatly explained and demonstrated.  Your effort will be greatly appreciated!  Thanks! :clap:

i second this.  I know some things and can distinguish some styles but am nowhere near an expert on this.  Some pictures, etc would be awesome and very helpful.

This link is a reasonable primer for the house styles http://architecture.about.com/library/bl-styles_index.htm , it however lacks in pictures.

Check this out, it has everything from Federal to Art deco/Moderne

Enjoy!

wow max that is a great website, very "at-a-glance" informative!

you just want someone to do your homework for you

That site is perfect Max, thanks!  :clap:

Am I having fun yet?? Yes sir I am...Since joining the site a few hours ago I have been labeled as angry and mad. Not to worry ppl I am neither.The name of the post was ((Pet Peeves)) I jumped right in and I should have introduced myself there. My fault ...my name is Carole and it's very nice to meet you all.  I originally joined because I saw something about Burnet Avenue that I thought was one sided. That street has been cleaned up quite a bit. Since I work and grew up along those neighborhoods...I had something to say and Of course in order to be heard I was asked to join. Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to all UO has to offer. :wave:
