Queen Anne (1880-1910) – 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.
Tuscan Columns – similar to the Greek Doric order (within the five Classical Orders), the Roman Tuscan order is the simplest of the five orders. The columns are always unfluted with no ornamentation, a simple round shaft topped by a round capital.
A pyramidal roof is simply an equilateral hipped roof: some with a center point, others with a center ridge, but all are steeply pitched.
