District Map
"By 1908, the west side of Cedar was almost fully built-up with Queen
Anne houses and firmly established as Washington's premiere
residential street. The small exclusive neighborhood continued to
attract the town's leading families, most of whom were second
generation German-Americans. The picturesque profile of the Queen Anne
style with its towers, bays and prominent gables remained popular with
District Builders until about 1910,... " ~ NRHP Nomination Form, PDF page 9
"Revival Styles. 1385-1941. Coded C; Photos #1 through #1O).
"This group
of twenty-one buildings represents nearly two-thirds of the total
District count. Fourteen are Queen Anne, four are Colonial Revival,
and there is one example each of the following styles: Neoclassical,
Tudor, and a mixed revival vocapulary. The District's four frame
buildings are within the Queen Anne Revival group. All of the Revival
buildings rise two or two and one-half stories except for three brick
one or one and one-half story houses. Queen Anne houses exhibit most of
the major stylistic characteristics associated with the style:
irregular plan-shapes with set-backs, or projecting wings or bays;
hipped roofs with asymmetrically placed front and side gables, or full-width
front gable roofs; asymmetrical façades often punctuated with
towers or bays; one-story front porches; and tall chimneys. Several of
the houses also display exuberant detailing commonly found in the
style: Eastlake incised panels, elaborated wood bracketed or corbelled
brick cornices, filigree corner brackets, roof finials, prominent
façade gables enriched with trusses, sunbursts or patterned wood
shingles. Three frame houses - 309, 315, and 413 Cedar - display
overhanging front gables. A few of the later (circa 1905-1910] Queen
Anne houses take up a free classic subtype defined principally by the
use of classically detailed corones and more restrained massing."
