What's My Style?
By Lorette Waggoner, GRI (541) 984-2524
Just like the old T.V. show “What’s My Line” there are many hints that
can help you correctly identify the style of your vintage home. Just calling
it a “Victorian” can mean anything from Stick-Eastlake style to High Queen
Anne to Second Empire to Gothic, and many in-between or more than likely
a combination of features from several of these styles. Eclecticism was
the hallmark of the Victorian era. If the Victorian homeowner liked a specific
feature, they incorporated it into their home. It didn’t matter if you
had a Queen Anne, but like Mansard roof of the second Empire style, just
put one on your tower or turret. And, while you are at it, incorporate
an Eastlake sunburst too! Now, if I have lost you with all of this technical
talk, a little research on your part and you’ll be speaking like a pro
in no time. Oregon was settled from 1840 to 1890, during the Victorian
era (1838 to 1901) and flourished during the Edwardian era (1901 to W.W.I.
or about 1918). Many of our older Vintage homes were built during these
two eras. There are about 7 or 8 predominate styles from the Victorian
era, beginning with the Greek Revival (typically built between 1825-1860),
then Gothic revival (1840-1880), then Italianate (1840-1885), then second
Empire (1855-1885), then Stick style (1860-1890), followed by Queen Anne
(1880-1910); Shingle (1880-1900) and finally now what is called “Folk Victorian”
(1870-1910). Each of these styles have their own characteristics, but as
I mentioned earlier, most Victorian Homes combine features from more than
one style. Rule of thumb is: if you find three or more features from a
specific style, you can call the house that style. As the Victorian era
came to a close, there was a reverse in the attitude that more is better
All the wonderful machine tooled features that grace the Victorian home
like scroll work, iron work, and machine tooled wood work) were out of
vogue. The Edwardian era ushered in the Arts and Crafts movement where
emphasis was placed upon custom, hand made features. As this change occurred,
we see several styles which bridge between the Victorian and Arts and Crafts
eras. They are the Revivals (Colonial, Neoclassical, Tudor, Chateauesque
and French Eclectic), and the Mediterranean styles (Italian Renaissance,
sM(ssion, Spanish, Pueblo Revival). hinhc mu the Moderns of the Craftsman
era (Prairie, Craftsman, Modernistic or Art Deco). The Eugene Springfield
area holds a few of the Revivals and Mediterranean styles, but many of
the Moderns, especially Craftsman Bungalows built from 1900 - 1920. A visit
to the library or your local bookstore can help you learn about these various
styles. One of the most widely known and used resources is "A Field Guide
to American Houses" by Virginia and Lee McAlester. Another good source,
is "A Living Legacy, Historical Architecture of the East Bay" by Mark Wilson.
Since the East Bay area was developing at the same time much of Oregon
was being settled, the styles found are much the same. Another publication
by the National Trust is titled "What's My Style" and is an abbreviated
guide with quick reference to many features. There are many magazines available
that showcase the Victorian era as well as Traditional and Vintage homes.
A few of these are Victoria, Preservation, Old House Journal, Old House
Interiors, Victorian, Homes and lifestyle, Traditional Home and several
others. In addition I am happy to meet with you and help you analyze your
home and determine it's style. Call me at (541) 984-2524! If you have a
