In the United States, "Queen Anne" is used to describe a wide range of picturesque buildings with "free Renaissance" (non-[[Gothic Revival architecture]]) details and as an alternative both to the French-derived [[Second Empire (architecture)|Second Empire]] and the less "domestic" [[Beaux-Arts architecture]], is broadly applied to architecture, furniture, and decorative arts of the period 1880 to 1910; some "Queen Anne" architectural elements, such as the wraparound front porch, continued to be found into the 1920s. One example of a Queen Anne style home in the United States is the [[Slowe-Burrill House]] located in the [[Brookland (Washington, D.C.)|Brookland]] neighborhood of [[Washington, D.C.|Washington D.C]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schmidt |first=Samantha |date=2019-03-26 |title=This pioneering Howard dean lived with another woman in the 1930s.

The gabled and domestically scaled style arrived in New York City with the new housing for the New York House and School of Industry [[Sidney V. Stratton]], architect, 1878. Distinctive features of American Queen Anne architecture may include an [[asymmetrical]] [[facade|façade]]; dominant front-facing [[gable]], often [[cantilever]]ed beyond the plane of the wall below; overhanging [[eaves]]; round, square, or [[polygonal]] tower(s); shaped and [[Dutch gable]]s; a [[porch]] covering part or all of the front façade, including the primary entrance area; a second-story porch or balconies; [[pediment]]ed porches; differing wall textures, such as patterned wood shingles shaped into varying designs, including resembling fish scales, [[terra cotta]] tiles, [[relief]] panels, or wooden shingles over brickwork, etc.; [[dentils]]; classical columns; spindle work; [[Oriel window|oriel]] and bay windows; horizontal bands of leaded windows; monumental chimneys; painted [[balustrade]]s; and wooden or [[slate]] roofs.
