"Queen Anne is the most elaborate and the most eccentric of all the Victorian house styles." I think this house is the most beautiful house in Waupaca, WI. It is on the US National Register of Historic Places. added in 1983 Building #83004364.
"The most outstanding example of the style is in Waupaca, WI and one of the finest Queen Anne style house in the state, in the Shearer-Cristy House built in 1891-92 for lumberman Caleb Shearer. The Shearer-Cristy House is a museum-quality example of the Queen Anne style, with almost all of the style's features extant on this house."
