| The
Queen Anne Period lasted from 1880 to 1900, and was used in York
for homes of some of the wealthier residents. These buildings
feature asymmetrical massings of rich textures and shapes, large
chimneys decorated with corbelled brick or
terra-cotta panels,
and bay windows—sometimes with stained glass. Most buildings
have gables, dormers,
towers, or turrets. The roofs are usually
steeply pitched. Buildings in the 700 block of South George
Street exemplify this style.
