Gable-Ell style – The gable-ell was a generic house form found in abundance between the 1890s and the late 1910s, at which point it was replaced in popularity by the bungalow. The form was so simple that any carpenter could build one without having to obtain architectural plans. A gable-ell has two intersecting roof gables, which gives it an “L” shape.

Queen Anne style (1880-1910) – Includes a steeply pitched roof of irregular shape, usually with a dominant front-facing gable; patterned shingles; cutaway bay windows and other devices used to avoid a smooth-walled appearance (variety of claddings); and an asymmetrical facade with partial or full-width porch, usually one-story and wrapping around one side. Possible towers and/or turrets.
