===Australia=== {{Main|Federation architecture}} [[File:The Australia (APA) Building, Melbourne.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.8|The [[APA Building, Melbourne|APA Building]] in Melbourne, Australia, circa 1900. It was Australia's tallest building from its completion in 1889 to 1912 and was demolished in 1980.]] In Australia the influence of [[Richard Norman Shaw]]<ref>''A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture'', Apperly [[Angus & Robertson]] 1994, p. 132.</ref> contributed to the development of the [[Federation architecture|Federation style]], of which the heyday lasted from 1890 to 1915, and which is subdivided into twelve phases, [[Federation Queen Anne]] being one and the most popular style for houses built between 1890 and 1910.<ref>''A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture'', p. 132.</ref> The style often used Tudor-style woodwork and elaborate fretwork that replaced the Victorian taste for wrought iron. Verandahs were usually a feature, as were the image of the rising sun and Australian wildlife, plus circular windows, turrets, and towers with conical or pyramid-shaped roofs. [[File:(1)Amesbury 033.jpg|thumb|''Amesbury'' a Queen Anne Style house in [[Ashfield, New South Wales|Ashfield]], [[Sydney]]]] [[Image:Federation style mansion in domain street south yarra.jpg|thumb|Queen Anne styled mansion located in [[South Yarra]], [[Melbourne]]]] The first Queen Anne house in Australia was [[Caerleon, Bellevue Hill|Caerleon]] in the suburb of [[Bellevue Hill, New South Wales|Bellevue Hill]], [[Sydney]].<ref>''The Federation House'', Hugh Fraser (New Holland) 2002, p. 24.</ref> Caerleon was designed initially by a Sydney architect, [[Harry Kent (architect)|Harry Kent]], but was then substantially reworked in London by [[Maurice Adams]].<ref>''Sydney Architecture'', Graham Jahn (Watermark Press) 1997, p. 62.</ref> This led to some controversy over who deserved the credit. The house was built in 1885 and was the precursor for the Federation Queen Anne house that was to become so popular. The [[APA Building, Melbourne|APA Building]] in the [[Melbourne central business district]] was an example of the Queen Anne style being used for non-residential purposes. However, at some stage, the building may have been apartments. It was demolished in 1981 after the modernism boom in Melbourne took off β factors that sealed its demolition included rapacious development, lax heritage attitudes in Australian cities, and the owner's decision to argue for a demolition permit, which was granted. Caerleon was followed soon after by West Maling, in the suburb of [[Penshurst, New South Wales]],<ref>[http://www.heritage.nsw.gov.au/07_subnav_04_2.cfm?itemid=1870222 Heritage branch | Office of Environment & Heritage]</ref> and Annesbury, in the suburb of [[Ashfield, New South Wales|Ashfield]], both built circa 1888. Although built around the same time, these houses had distinct styles, West Maling displaying a robust Tudor influence that was not present in Annesbury. The style became increasingly popular, appealing predominantly to reasonably well-off people with an "Establishment" leaning.<ref>''The Federation House'', p. 22.</ref> The style as it developed in Australia was highly eclectic, blending Queen Anne elements with various Australian influences. Old English characteristics like ribbed chimneys and gabled roofs were combined with Australian aspects like encircling verandahs, designed to keep the sun out. One outstanding example of this eclectic approach is [[Urrbrae House]], in the [[Adelaide]] suburb of [[Urrbrae, South Australia|Urrbrae]], part of the Waite Institute. Another variation connected to the Federation Queen Anne style was the [[Federation Bungalow]], featuring extended verandahs. This style generally incorporated familiar Queen Anne elements, but usually in simplified form.
